Sportsnet: When Seattle joins, and expansion draft happens, nhl says vegas doesnt give up any players

[mouser]

Are there any rules preventing teams from handing out NMC or NTC to every player on the team?

No. But the NHL can punish a team if it can't meet the expansion draft requirements.

Added Context: VGK also does not receive any of the expansion fee.

This is all logical.
