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

I don't believe he can be sent to the AHL.
In the CBA, it looks like the only players who can be sent to the AHL after the trade deadline are those who were recalled after the deadline (which is why we often see a flurry of paper transactions to the AHL just before the deadline); those who were injured in the NHL while on a recall from the AHL prior to the deadline who have subsequently recovered (I believe this is why the Oilers put Turris on waivers the other day); and injured players on a Conditioning Loan (but his salary still counts against the cap).
I'm not really sure how waivers works after the trade deadline. If he's ineligible to play for the claiming team after the TDL, it would be a jerk move to claim a player off waivers. If he is eligible to play for the claiming team after the TDL, it seems like it would be a big loophole to get around the TDL. Also, if a player isn't eligible to be sent to the AHL, would the league even allow a team to put him on waivers?

I don't think Vegas would really care who claimed him as long as he was no longer on their roster.
