Regardless of thoughts who's on the list, any form of NTC = an increase in player control on the contract, or decrease of team control on the asset. Simply boiled down, that increase in player control, has, or SHOULD have a monetary value attached to it. Meaning the player should be leaving some salary on the table in exchange for that extra control.
This means, Chia figured he was actually worth more than $4.5M AAV without an NTC. I have no idea what the market rate for that type of contract control is worth, but it's worth something and the Oilers clearly value him at over a $4.5M dollar player per year.

But a 15 team NTC is a big negotiating win for the Oilers. Koskinen's current contract has a NMC
NMC to 15 team NTC is great for the organization.
