I think they are technically compliant right now but the trade was designed to open up room to bring back Stone and Martinez off LTIR. So now they can't do that. But you also just can't stash guys on LTIR to be cap compliant.
Teams can make trades after the deadline, the player(s) involved just can't play in playoffs. So if this trade gets wiped then Vegas needs to find someone to take Dadonov who, 1) isn't on his modified NTC and, 2) isn't making the playoffs so doesn't care if he can't play in the playoffs and, 3) wants Dadonov (to some degree).
Basically, the other team will have Vegas over a barrel and Vegas is going to look ridiculous giving up extra assets. I suppose there's a situation where they can't work a deal and then there's a bunch of punishments the league can lay out for not being compliant up to and including forfeiture of games.
