Most surprising players with NMC, NTC

[alko]

Actually, this was given mostly for star players. But there also some players, that may surprise you.

For example Valtteri Filppula. How did he came to this insurance?

I suppose he got it because there were other teams interested and Lou gave to him to ward off others as well as respect for a player who's done great service for many years. Thing is, when players reach his age they sometimes value security more than money. They do not want to uproot their family, move kids' schools etc and that is more important than being a few hundred thousands more

It isn't necessarily surprising that he has one, but the fact that Bergevin apparently had such little leverage in his negotiation with Price that he not only gave him 8 years at 10.5 million, he also gave him a NMC over those 8 years

 

[JoVel]

Yzerman gave those things away like candy. Most TB players have some sort of NTC or NMC.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Benning gave Roussel and Beagle m-ntc.

I'm not that shocked that Price got a NMC, I am surprised that they made the NMC effective immediately (as in, before the new contract even came into effect). That's what happens when you rely on goaltending though.

 

[sharkhawk]

Cam ward and Chris Kunitz with the hawks. Only one year deals and I’m guessing they would wave to go to a contender.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I'm pretty sure Jay Pandolfo had a NTC.

The answer is probably as simple as it was important to him, and he left money on the table in order to get it.

'You can pay me less, but I won't be as valuable to you as a manageable asset down the road.'

Seems fair.

Pretty common practice, especially for those franchise player contracts.

Usually the only time there's a wait for the NTC to kick in is when there are still RFA years, a la Carter, Subban, and Myers.

Veterans with rings and families have different priorities. Kunitz (and to a lesser degree Ward) have nothing to gain from waiving that they don't already have.

Dorion gave Thompson a NTC. Yes, Nate Thompson.

If Price didn't get the NMC included effectively. Habs would technically be able to trade him anywhere before to the contact kicking in, and also the team acquiring him would be able to void the NMC.

FYI any sort of NMC/NTC can only cover UFA years.. Subban was given a NMC on his 8 year deal with MTL, but he first 2 years of the year were RFA, and hance Mtl was able to trade him. And now the Preds voided Subban NMC.

Having the NMC effective immediately was likely the easiest part of making the deal.

[Matty Sundin]

Mike Grier had a ntc

 

[Kevs Security]

NMC:
Brad Richardson
Brandon Dubinsky

NTC:
Michael Frolik
Michael Stone
Marcus Kruger
Carl Soderberg

Also, what the hell is wrong with Holland? Detroit NTC's: Abdelkader, Daley, DeKeyser, Ericsson, Green, Helm, Kronwall, Nielsen, Nyquist & Vanek.

 

[taliababa]

Seemingly half the Red Wings roster.

 

[crackdown44]

Yzerman gave those things away like candy. Most TB players have some sort of NTC or NMC.

I think that’s kind of why he got such good value. Having someone take a discount then flipping them to a bottom feed one year later would be something players would want to be protected from

Hasn’t really hurt Tampa though.

Limited NTC's on both but yeah. 10/15 respectively.

David Backes

Has an NMC through this season that becomes an NTC for the final 2 years

Really his contract from Sweeney has flown under the radar as crap despite being just as bad as Lucic's.

Same type of player, age, money, length, NMC and Backes has fallen off the same cliff Lucic found.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Alex freaking Steen

 

[Mickey Marner]

Came here to say this. Literally every 27+ player Yzerman signed has one, or will have one when their extension kicks in.

The flip side is that if anyone took less then they are not going to be that open to being traded in the future. The list would be very short of where they would be okay to go to.
