I suppose if Ottawa misled Vegas, Vegas could argue the 2021 trade should be voided and Ottawa takes Dadonov back. Holden goes back to Vegas with the 2nd rounder. Legally I think that’s pretty tenuous since the players both played for the new teams.
Generally on these things the law looks to punish the innocent the least. Which would be Dadonov. The others made mistakes or outright lied. I’m betting wires got crossed between Ottawa and Vegas because the list just didn’t apply anyway.
