Yeah, the deals with VEGAS are secret deals. The ones between other teams had to already be announced. But anyone can have a deal in place with Vegas to provide something in order to get Vegas to not select a player for example.
It does in fact appear that most GM's preferred to make the deal with Vegas rather than make it with another team. Makes sense if you start with the assumption that Vegas will be the weakest team. If you've got to give up something, give it up to them.
