This was a trade that took a lot of setting up. Iginla called Lucic to vouch for the organization. Lucic's NMC was essentially keeping him hostage in Edmonton - no matter where he went, there'd have to be a handshake deal that when the time came, Lucic would waive for the draft.
Lucic knows he's not going to be selected. He waives his NMC to return the favor to the team that gave him a fresh start.
