That doesn't even bring into account the fact that the proper waiver forms weren't submitted at the time of the trade and now the deadline has passed... (from Seravelli this morning on the Fan).

Why would they ask the player to waive or submit waiver forms if they were in the understanding that the NTC was not in effect.

According to reports the initial trade from OTT to VGK was approved by the NHL with the understanding that there was not a valid NTC in effect because that is what OTT told them. Checking in with the NHL wouldn't have made a difference, the evidence of this is that the NHL approved the trade to ANA, they didn't think he had a NTC either.

It's absolutely on OTT if they gave false information at the time of the first trade. If they reported that the player didn't submit his list on time how is VGK supposed to know different. I suppose they are at fault for not double checking with the player after the trade but the majority of the blame here clearly lies with OTT.

No, he did not file with the NHL. Hopefully that process gets fixed as a result of this though.
