In what way would not-protecting an expiring NMC breach the contract?
You can keep spouting out your argument, but if you want to be so pedantic about "upholding" the contract, you should be at least able to provide reasoning on how the contract was breached. A NMC very clearly protects the "Trade, Loan or Waiver claim" as defined by the CBA. The player is not traded, loaned or claimed by waiver.
It's such an absurd argument. I'll bet you $100 that Wideman, as his contract is today, will not need protection under any condition for the expansion draft.
The only mention of the expansion draft in the CBA is this:
Expansion Draft, Team Relocation. Any Player forced to move as a result of being
claimed in an expansion draft, or as a result of a team relocation, shall be paid $6,000. (This
payment shall not affect or be credited against "moving expenses" to which the Player might
otherwise be entitled).
So if Wideman were to be claimed, he gets $6000...
