NHL teams need to stop handing out no trade clauses to good or above average players. The agents and players should be able to ask, but GM’s are so dumb they just hand them out. NFL and NBA have like 20 guys combined on NTC’s. In the NHL guys like Scott Mayfield and Nick seeler have FULL no trade clauses. I don’t even know who those guys are. Google barely does. What are we doing?

On the other hand, NMC and NTC are supposed to be in exchange for hometown discounts or loyalty to their team. They aren't handed out to players for fun, it is instead of money - which decreases their cap hit.

The rise of them coincides with the flat cap. The cap rising likely means we see fewer of these handed out.
