Players with NMC:
Wideman

Players with some form of NTC:
Giordano
Stajan

The NHL's official position is that NMCs don't protect a player from being claimed in the expansion draft. The NHLPA is expected to challenge that.

edit: Well duh. Wideman's contract expires in 2017 so it shouldn't be a concern for an expansion draft.
