Yeah officially removing NMC/NTC won't really solve anything. Players can still in effect have them.

See Jeff Carter. When he was traded to Columbus he made sure to get himself traded to LA after a few months. When his time in LA was coming to an end, rumors started circulating that he would retire if he didn't like where he was traded to.

Players and their agents will manipulate to get out of places they don't want to be.
