As mentioned, that only applies to players traded before their NTC came into effect.

No that would not make sense. NHL contracts can't be modified. When players get traded, the contract is assigned/transferred to another team. The old CBA contained language that only applied to players who was traded before their NTC came into effect (which makes sense from a vesting point of view). From a practical standpoint, a player with NTC being asked to waive to go to another team can and is likely to dictate that the team trading for him honors his NTC in case he is to be traded again.
