Even if he can waive it, it doesn't mean he would, so the big deal is the team has to use one of their protection "slots" on him instead of someone else. But, as was mentioned above, this probably is only the Oilers problem, as him being traded means he'd have already waived his NMC.
Regardless, I'd much, much, much have another year of Neal maybe bouncing back than Lucic. Would have to be a hell of a sweetener.
