The only way Vegas benefits from this is if the players they now have on LTIR are out for the entire season. I don't believe we have any definite information that this is the case.

And I’m sure it will be easy to create $10 million in cap space when he is ready. Look at what teams had to pay to get rid of cap space in the past. Arizona will be lining up for players and draft picks to take them off your hands. If Vegas doesn’t send salary back then it could get ugly very quickly. All these talking heads look at LTIR as get out of jail free card. The cost of cap compliance has to be added to the price if they don’t send cap back to Buffalo.
