When Regehr waived his NMC to go to Buffalo is it entirely possible it was wiped from his contract at that point, meaning the Sabres had the luxury of trading him to the highest bidder.
Around the time of the trade it was rumored that the only team to make an offer for him that he was willing to waive for was San Jose and it was said to be lesser of an offer than the Sabres deal. Then the Sabres owner convinced Regehr to waive to go there.
That NMC severely limited the options and facts like that cannot be ignored.
