Even if they force guys with NMCs to go to LV (I doubt it very much), all said player would have to do is demand a trade if he didn't want to go. We've seen it countless times in the past, if a player really doesn't want to be somewhere, he will orchestrate his own departure. I think these NMCs will end up being a non-issue, whichever way the league/nhlpa goes. Some guys would be okay with it, some won't, depending on their personal situation. I bet the GM of LV would approach any potential NMC draftees and get their consent, at least that's what I would do. Why would you want a player who doesn't want to be on your team? It makes no sense.
