Put Dadonov on waivers, let the Ducks claim him. Then trade the 2nd for Kesler's contract.

At this point they would have to add a serious sweetener to induce the Ducks to claim him off waivers. But this, unlike a trade, would not be a legal way to circumvent the cap, as it would be similar to a kickback.
Vegas’ entire use of LTIR this year has been a pyramid scheme - trade a player with a bad contract for a player with a bigger contract who is LTIR eligible. Eventually you run out of players with top shelf contracts who you can pass off as injured.
