And then they traded him which is a second opportunity to redo the diligence.
Vegas was negligent, this has nothing to do with Ottawa.

If it is as Friedman is reporting, what apparently happened on the trade call when the Sens traded Dadonov to Vegas was when the NTC was brought up, Vegas and the NHL were told by the Sens that the NTC was no longer valid because Dadonov had not filed his list by the deadline specified in the contract.
Since the league office does not register or maintain player's trade lists (the reason the NHLPA doesn't want the NHL to do this is because they are afraid of no trade lists getting leaked and causing controversy about said player not wanting to go to certain markets), they went with what the Sens told them.
The no trade list was not forwarded to Vegas and Vegas assumed from that point Dadonov's no trade clause was no longer valid because of the trade call.

Nothing for the agent to complain about when Sens traded Dadonov, because Vegas was not on Dadonov's no trade list so the trade went forward and agents are not brought in on trade calls.
He would have had no clue that his client's NTC was being considered invalid until they tried to trade him to the Ducks.
