Interesting: have heard from teams who are contemplating using Vegas' unique free-agent window prior to June 21 in this fashion
Team X could offer Vegas an asset in exchange for signing a pending UFA from another team during that unique window
Then Vegas would flip that signed player to Team X. But key is that Vegas must wait until after expansion draft to flip the signed player
That's because any signed free agent during the unique window counts as one of Vegas' roster picks for expansion draft...
Might be worth the asset for Vegas if it counts as an expansion draft pick from a team that doesn't have much to select from to begin with
And FYI, league source says all of this is permissible. Just another potential expansion draft week wrinkle....
And in case you missed these tweets from LeBrun two days ago...
