And you think Iginla would agree to write down his 4 teams on paper even if asked? If I had an NMC, I'm not putting anything down on paper waiving my rights. I would be stupid to do that unless I really don't care.

That's standard procedure. If you have a NMC/NTC that's generally there to protect a player from going to a ####ty franchise , a place that's not desirable for their family family, or simply a team that player doesn't want to play for. It's useful for players like Jaybo to turn down the Islanders...not for players like Iginla to cherry pick one franchise.
Doug MacLean, one of the worst GMs of the past 20 years even acknowledged it's common practice to have these lists written. It's not asking for much or invoking on a player's rights at all.
