A little reminder tampa played their waive card and he cleared. Now TJ just needs to continue to wave his no trade clause card and he remains with tampa.
You're acting like he can't be traded again next year when his list opens up. It's not like he accepts a trade to Carolina, for example, and then they have to keep him for the rest of the contract.for 1 more year. Next year his clause allows him to be traded to 20 teams. So he can use his clause to either stay in Tampa for 1 year more then be sent to one of 20 teams next year with no say in a he matter (other than defining the list of 20), or use it to control where he goes, so he goes to a team he wants to go this year.
Albeit, there are dwindling options this year.
Problem is Tampa needs cap NOW not next season. Something has to give soon doesn't it?You're acting like he can't be traded again next year when his list opens up. It's not like he accepts a trade to Carolina, for example, and then they have to keep him for the rest of the contract.
Johnson has literally zero reason to open up his list of teams.
Yeah, which means if he just refuses to be traded until the start of this season, Tampa will have less reason to trade him next season, because they will have shipped other guys out (or lost RFA's to offersheets) by that time.Problem is Tampa needs cap NOW not next season.

Depends on who's serious about offers sheets and who fills up their cap space before they get the chance to offer one. IIRC Kucherov wasn't thrilled about his bridge, but he took it because that was the established pattern. This year there's a chance that a deserving RFA gets moved or 1 or more of their bridges get squeezed if moving Johnson proves to continue to be difficult.Problem is Tampa needs cap NOW not next season.

If he gets traded, can't the other team just not honour his NTC, and all of a sudden he can get traded to anyone?

We fans have no way of knowing what reasons he may or may not have for waiving. I’m not saying he will waive (or won’t), as I don’t know his thinking either, but I do know that we fans on Hf have been wrong before on our assumptions about players not waiving/waiving clauses, or where UFAs may sign, accept a trade to, etc. so to assume a player won’t, under any circumstances, is A bit presumptuous.Johnson has literally zero reason to open up his list of teams.

no. Teams only can refuse to honor a clause if a player has one in the future that isn’t already in effect (like Subban to NSH I think).
that said, next year, TB or any team can trade him to 20 teams he defines, as his clause changes to a limited ntc.
So there is no guarantee a team he’s traded to won’t trade him again, but he can get an idea of how likely that is should he choose to waive his clause now.
