agreed that it's a terrible system.
Can't wait to hear more details. Right now it looks like Vegas was lax but Ottawa stepped over the line.

Moreso its the agents who have resisted this because they are worried about contract details getting leaked.
LeBrun really dove into this thing and has an article on The Athletic about it all
A couple snippets..

According to sources, the Golden Knights’ assertion is that the Senators, on the trade call last July that originally sent Dadonov to Vegas, told the league and the Golden Knights that the player had not submitted his trade list for the 2021-22 season which made his list void for the season.
That actually happens more often than people realize.
But that was not the case here. There’s documentation proving that Dadonov’s representation did file the no-trade list of teams before the July 1 deadline.
As for whether the Senators mistakenly informed the Golden Knights and the league that the no-trade list wasn’t submitted in time, the Senators said they had no comment. A league source also declined comment on that.

And I think one of the reasons for that is that players and agents don’t want the content of the no-trade lists ever to leak out publicly, that it remains a secret which teams players don’t want to get traded to. So that information has been kept in a very small circle.

But judging from just a handful of calls with team executives and player agents the last few days, the number of times some agents have either forgotten to file the no-trade list or clubs forgot to ask for them, it’s actually surprising we haven’t had more problems.
