Presumably if it was important to him, he wouldn't waive unless the Flames agreed to honour the NMC, in any event.
A player will want that clause honoured so he can decide, on a situation by situation basis, whether to waive or not.
The situations where players have lost this protection is when they were traded prior to the NTC or NMC kicks in. Then it is up to the team getting the player to choose whether they will honour it or not.
