Who would be resisting against that? Why would they even need to push?
It makes even less sense the the Flames would be forced to protect a player on a NMC who wouldn't even be under contract weeks later. Nobody benefits from it, only the teams get hurt.
I'll bet the Flames among other teams would make a big stink about this. And they'll face no opposition.
