Scheifele / Brassard / Little / Lowry would have been some of the better center depth in the league, on a team that has some of the best scoring wingers in the league already. It's as injury-proof a lineup as any team can be. I can see why rivals would want to prevent that from coming together.
But... Vegas? Really? Everyone associated with Vegas should really just enjoy the ride and not monkey overmuch with whatever witch's brew has brought them success so far. It makes basically no sense, and if you can't understand why it's working, don't screw with it, from where I sit. Who cares if you lose to Winnipeg? You're still the most successful expansion team ever by about ten miles. Everything is a win at this point.
