Yeah, I kind of had it in my head from somewhere, that there was a maximum number of teams for an NTC.
Otherwise why would we have to protect the likes of Ovi, and Backus from the expansion, like we had to against Vegas? Surely we would have used that protection for other players?
alta:
there is not a maximum number of teams a player can have in a NTC, it appears that's just how Kuzys contract was written

Well first of all, and expansion draft isn't a trade, so it is subject to its own rules.
As I understand it (someone correct me if I am wrong), there is such a thing as a "no movement clause" in some players' contracts, which means that the team cannot move the player anywhere, anyhow, for the duration of the contract (or however long the NMC is in effect). That means the team cannot trade the player, waive the player, release the player, or let the player go to an expansion team. In other words, it incorporates no-trade to the entire league, but is even stronger than that. If a team has a player or players under that kind of contract, they MUST include those players in the protected list for the expansion draft.
Whether or not the Capitals have anyone with such a contract (Ovie/Backstrom??) I do not know.

From what I've seen over the years, all a NTC does is keep the player in the loop for trade prospects rather than be surprised about it like Vrana was, but shouldn't have been. There have been numerous players that have NTCs that were traded, but they had to be talked to first to waive the NTC. Same for being put on waivers, per the CBA.
