Of course they can agree to terms beforehand, but that would leave some risk.
The 5 team NTC is tough because he can say:
PHI
TBL
VGK
PIT
NYR/SJ/NYI/TOR/EDM/DET
ie. the 1 team he wants, and another 4 that wouldn't be bad for a year, but who simply don't have the room (or desire) to make a deal.

No he cant officially sign but nothing stopping a verbal agreement.
