I was confused about this myself before. According to Cap Friendly:

Quote:
A No-Movement Clause (NMC) prohibits a team from moving a player, or assigning a player to the minor division without their consent (by trade, loan or waivers). This ensures the players’ presence on the team, unless they consent to moving. However, an NMC does not prevent a team from buying out or terminating a players contract. An NMC follows a player even if they waive the clause and are traded, but it does not protect a player from being bought out.
A No-Trade Clause (NTC) is less restrictive, and only places restrictions on player movement as a result of trades. A player with an NTC cannot be traded to another team unless the player provides consent. However, player consent is not required for placement on waivers or assignment to minors. An NTC does not follow a player if they waive a full NTC, or are traded within the terms of a limited or modified NTC.

So yes, Clarkson still has his NMC. Often teams as a goodwill gesture will reinstate a player's NTC once acquiring a player with such a clause. I am betting that in at least some of those cases, it was part of the agreement for said player to agree to move to the new team. However, NTCs do in fact get lifted after a trade, but NMCs do not.
