NTCs usually cost players some money compared to their theoretical fair market price. It's fair.

Does that mean I need to like it? This is the entertainment business and I feel these clauses really limit a teams ability to make changes and improvements. Other pro leagues don’t hand those out like candy and I don’t like that the NHL does.
Thank god the Flames got savings on that Michael Stone deal by giving him trade protection Habs just stole #5 Dman Edmunson for 3.5M and giving him trade protection. I don’t see either player leaving money on the table.
It is the GM communities fault for these clauses becoming commonplace.
