Should the NHL get rid of NMC’s?

I live in Canada. The media can be brutal towards hockey players. It's not fair at all. Guys want to avoid that, so they have nmcs to avoid playing up here.

Laugh Out Loud.

I think NMC are fine.
They protect players interests, while also being a negotiating tool to lower their cap hit for GM's.

This is especially important for parents with kids in school.

You can't just uproot and relocate your family during a school year, or not watch your kids grow up for several months.

Yeah man for sure! If the players were being paid more than the measly $0,000,000.00's [MILLIONS] they currently receive in any given year then there may be something said for having to move during a school year. How dare those people making BILLIONS be so cruel as to expect a person to deal with such nasty circumstances. Who will think of the children?

Nmc are only around because teams couldn’t convince players with ntc to waive so they threatened them with demotion to the Ahl.

nmc protect against that.
