I'm pretty certain that the league is talking about protecting NMC that would be in effect for the 2017-18 season. Contracts coming off the books at the end of the 2016-17 season will be treated as free agents. These rules would have been discussed with the GMs already and if a guy coming off of a contract had to be protected there would have been some major push back through the media.
