Players are asked to waive their NTC all the time. The Florida Panthers themselves traded part of their core in Huberdeau without consulting him. At the time many were saying Florida did him wrong and he was super upset they never asked him, and that players would remember how they treated him.
No one cares now that he was traded. Florida management has one of the best reputations in the league, players are asking to go there. At the end of the day no one will care we asked Kadri to waive if we are a contender in 5 years.
I just really don't get it. This is business, it isn't personal. We signed him when we were going all in as a contender. Things have changed a lot since then, and players themselves know this.
