Usually the player negotiates to get the NTC.
I think the Oilers in this case paid Kostkinen a bit extra to take one. For the optics if having someone who wants to play in Edmonton
Think about it. You see the expression on the face of McDavid and Lucic. These guys don’t look like they want to be there. Goalies wear masks, you can’t see their faces.
When Kostkinen’s new mask has a smiley face on it, we will know it is true.
