Well there it is…

 

[Mike Jones]

Waivers? I thought Wheeler had an NMC.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Waivers? I thought Wheeler had an NMC.

He had a 27 team NTC I believe it was.

 

[larmex99]

Wishing him the best. A true warrior for the Jets.

Waivers? I thought Wheeler had an NMC.

I don’t think NMCs prevent waivers for buyouts, do they?

 

[innitfam]

Waivers? I thought Wheeler had an NMC.

I think (?) all players being bought out go through waivers as part of it. Could be wrong though.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

So yeah, Dangle was right

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You have to be put on waivers in order to be bought out, so since you can't be put on waivers with a NMC, I believe they do protect you from a buyout

Could easily be waaay off

Believe it was reported days earlier as well.

This is quite a statement by Winnipeg.

No, any player can be bought NMC or not.

Found it, which explains why Wheeler can still be bought out before the deadline today:

“To buyout a player they must first clear unconditional waivers.

However, if the player has a no-move clause (NMC), they can choose to skip waivers and have their contract immediately bought out.”

You are way off, it's a different waivers process than being reassigned to the AHL. The player with a NMC can choose to skip being placed on waivers and go straight to being bought out but they can't block the buyout.

Suter and Parise had full NMC's.

 

[MrWigglez]

why

Lots of reasons really. His contract was large, his production was shrinking, but in the end Winnipeg needed to go a new direction. The team needs a new identity, new voices in the room. Theres been lots of reports that the room is toxic and assuming thats true the former captain would need to go.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

why

Culture change in Winnipeg. It's as simple as that.

 

[Voight]

Wheeler in a Dallas jersey seems so natural.

why

They rent going to get anything for him in a. trade. Even if they detained 50%, teams knew they'd likely be buying him out and thus could sign him for that on their own, giving no assets, or possibly even cheaper than that.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I must have been thinking of someone's contract being buy out proof because of the way its structured.

My bad on the response.

It could also be as simple as they need the $5.5m in cap savings to be able to afford to keep their RFAs.

No. That's definitely not it

 

[KPower]

Wow I guess he was that toxic.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

It’s a new day in Winnipeg that’s for certain.
