Even if Ottawa messed up and said the NTC didn't apply because of a missed deadline, it's sounding like the League and Vegas just took their word for it. Vegas should have confirmed with all parties, it's your contract now so the due diligence is on you. Saying they were "told" something at the time of the trade last year makes it sound like there was nothing in actual writing confirming that the NTC is now null and void. Sloppy.
