I think what makes it even harder these days is that nothing is secret anymore. Andersson and other players hear the same rumours as everyone else. If he prefers to play somewhere like Vegas and knows that they are interested, why would he sign on long term somewhere else if he knows he can probably join them in a few months?
I think for sure teams like Vegas leak the information to insiders in order to influence players. It's basically tampering but with extra steps to launder it enough that nothing can be done about it.
Anyway, I don't think the deal is bad. I could easily see Vegas taking a step back by the end of next season and that 1st becoming mid round pick.

The answer was move him at 2024 trade deadline, learned nothing from Hanifin deal.
