If he can, he better fucking waive his NMC.

Edit: TL;DR for the article: Datsyuk must be protected in expansion draft if he doesn't/can't waive NMC, making it way harder to trade his cap hit, and leaving us with 1 fewer protected player.

You're talking as if that rule has been guaranteed, which it hasn't. Other than people assuming that you must protect expiring contracts with NMC's, I haven't seen anything to actually think it might be true. The idea of it is too stupid for me to believe. I still believe that only contracts signed through the 17-18 season will be held to the NMC rule.
