Is there? I can only think of a few situations off the top of my head:
Fleury's NMC situation is obvious, either being traded for by a team that can protect him or being bought out.
Some older players waiving their NMC for the good of the team's protection list: Zdeno Chara (40), Scott Hartnell (35), Kevin Bieksa (36), Francois Beauchemin (36), ANYONE on Chicago's list (ain't gonna happen).
BTW, how does Jeff Petry of all people have a NMC?
There might be some trades of draft picks to Vegas to have them pick a certain player over another, but I honestly don't think we'll see that very often. Picks are too valuable to worry about losing bottom half of your roster players.
