Hrudey is out to lunch on this one. A player has control over their situation with a NTC. It shouldn’t prevent a team with talking with that player. The player can always say no, or provide a list. I don’t see how that could not be in the spirit of a no trade clause
As for the compensation, hard no. It is different from the ELC situation, as those contracts are designed to be lower than market. The bonuses help the exceptional young players, while not penalizing the team too much. Very different than players in a UFA situation.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
