NTCs don't activate until the player would normally be UFA eligible, which is either after 7 seasons played or the age of 27. Because Seguin started in the NHL at 18, he would qualify after 7 seasons played, so his NTC comes into effect on July 1, 2017.
If he gets traded before then, the acquiring team can choose to remove the NTC off the contract entirely.
