Yikes!

That makes no sense. If you have a full NMC you don't need a modified NTC

 

[57special]

Holy shit! So that means we have to protect him for the Seattle ED, and lose a young player in his stead?

 

[TaLoN]

No move means not waivable or tradable. We can't waive him for the life of the deal, I think we can only trade him to limited options in the final 2 years.

It gives the Wild an out in the final 2 years though limited.

No, not necessarily.

 

[Loff]

Zucc is a criminally underrated player. He makes everybody around him better. And he has a lot of hockey left in the tank.

I'm a fan, always enjoyed watching him play.

 

[Spurgeon]

No, not necessarily.

But very likely.


God damn it.

Yes, a full NMC means he can't be waived or traded for the life of the contract. If he has a limited NTC at any point of the deal, then he doesn't have a full NMC.

 

[Wild11MN]

No, not necessarily.

I think it does. Wasn't that how it worked last time?

 

[W75]

An actual signing!? I see Zuccarello as likeable guy and player. Hopefully will do well with the Wild.

Now it looks more and more like Fenton isn't rebuilding, but he's trying to retool? We'll see how it pans out.

 

[Wild11MN]

Yes, a full NMC means he can't be waived or traded for the life of the contract. If he has a limited NTC at any point of the deal, then he doesn't have a full NMC.

Right. That's why I'm so confused as well.

 

[TaLoN]

First 3 years full NMC. Final 2 years modified.

Just an error in the wording given in the tweet, but the point came across.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

But very likely.


God damn it.

Kaprizov and Boldy will be exempt.

Parise, Zuccarello, Fiala, Donato, Greenway, Kunin and Eriksson Ek makes 7. No idea if Zucker is going to be on the team 2 months from now, let alone 2 years from now.

Which young player are we losing?

 

[Spurgeon]

After thinking about it, do we even have 5 forwards we'll want to protect after Zucc and Parise are forced to be protected?

Yeah, I came to that realization after.

 

[Placid]

So we have a chance to get rid of him if things don't pan out in years 1-3? I'm okay with that.

yeah, the way i read that is that years 1 through 3 (age 32 to 35), he has a full No Move Clause. In years 4 and 5 (age 36 - 37) he has a modified No Trade Clause with 10 teams they cannot deal him to. It gives the Wild a potential "out" if things dont go as hoped, or if they decide to make major changes to the organization, with 20+ teams that he can be dealt to (there are what, 30 teams now? With his NMC, he'll be protected through the upcoming expansion draft (in 2021).

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think it does. Wasn't that how it worked last time?

Staal was an unexpected consideration last time around, and Koivu won't factor in this time.

 

[TaLoN]

I'm ok with the clause... I was worried it may be a year too long, we can do something about it if needed.

 

[TaLoN]

Staal was an unexpected consideration last time around, and Koivu won't factor in this time.

Nor is Pominville a factor.

 

[ThatGuy22]

How the frak do you give a 32 year old a NMC with an expansion draft coming up. No one else was giving him the 5th year. How do you fold on term and trade protection.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Nor is Pominville a factor.

Technically Zuccarello replaces Pominville when comparing the two scenarios. Parise holds steady, Koivu is gone and Zucc is the new Pommer.

 

[Spurgeon]

If we can use the UFA loophole with Brodin, we'll actually be in a decent spot for the Expansion Draft.

 

[Wild11MN]

Staal was an unexpected consideration last time around, and Koivu won't factor in this time.

Right, but we are forced to protect if they have any type of NMC/NTC, correct?

Or Zucc is the replacement Koivu factor

Nobody is signing a deal today without considerations for the expansion draft

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

NMC yes. Just an NTC, I don't believe so, unless it's a full NTC.
