Him waiving his NMC doesn't accomplish anything for Calgary even if he's willing to do so, because you have to have another party willing to take on that Albatross in the first place."
Which is what people are correcting - the statement that him waiving his NMC doesn't accomplish anything. It clearly does.

Him waiving brings the contract up to par with Neals. That's the point.
If we're comparing Neal Vs. Lucic, the ability to expose Neal to the expansion draft regardless is a factor.
At this point, we are
hoping that Lucic's contract is as flexible in regards to expansion as Neal's would have been.
