Correct. Vegas was never expressed as a desired destination leading to the trade though he is buddies with Eichel apparently. But no one connected those dots until afterwards. Then he signed for 8 years after only being there briefly.
I recall a lot of surprise the night he was dealt.
Edit - Re: dot connecting. If I'm not mistaken Sec had a post that night which people interpreted as him going to the Kings. No one thought Knights lol
