So you could actually argue that Vegas would have a case to claim that the deal with Ottawa was a mis-representation if they believed they acquired a player who's NTC was no longer in place.
But there's no cover up here. Someone in Ottawa simply F'd up.

Legally, if the parties had a mutual mistake of fact a contract ca n be voided or rectified BUT not if they acted on it. Which they did. The next remedy would be Ottawa owes them something. But quantify those damages - it’s not very easy.
