I did not know this, but it makes sense. Players selected in the expansion draft receive moving expenses from the league. Wonder if the team ponies up as well, the amount given seems low.
From 31 Thoughts on SportsNet:
The increased expansion fee means more “moving money” for players selected by Seattle in 2021. Those selected by Vegas received approximately $16,000 to relocate their families. Future “Krakens” get $20,000.
