The Dallas Stars traded their Captain and longest tenured player Brendan Morrow last deadline.
Had him sign a waiver to negotiate with the teams he'd be willing to go to.
Once different trade scenarios were established, Dallas management went back to Morrow to do him a solid by letting him pick, from the pre-established deals the organization had the legal justification to negotiate, and Morrow picked his destination.
King has even stated publicly that it was a mistake not follow basic trade protocol involving a NTC/NMC.
It's a matter of procedure. You get the waiver, you negotiate the deal. You call the league to get clarification before you submit the paper work.
Basic procedure.
