Aaaah,

I deleted the explanation, why I asked this question.

Will it be allowed to buyout a NMC before the expansion draft and then do not protect this NMC player?

In my opinion this would be a real bad decision, if the NHL would allow such a NMC dump.

They're not going to change the rules just for the expansion year. Teams are still paying a steep price when buying players out. That's a lot of money out the window. To us fans who cares except for the buyout penalty but to the owner, that's a lot of wasted money.

I'm not sure if teams must submit a list before the buyout period that cannot change with a buyout but I highly doubt it. Teams should have this option because its not exactly a loophole. They're paying dearly for it either way.

Hm, then I don´t know, why all the girls and boys here talk about the problems with the NMC´s.
Buy them out before the expansion draft and nothing is wrong (ok, the teams have to take the buyout penalty).

This might be cheaper, because you can protect another good player.

Example: Anaheim buy out Bieksa and could keep Fowler. Without the buyout and Bieksa is not waving his
NMC, Anaheim has to trade Fowler at the trade deadline or they loose Fowler for nothing in the expansion draft.
Which scenario would be better for Anaheim?

Go use the buyout calculator on some of those players and see how bad the penalty is.........David Clarkson for example is so bad that it literally makes more sense to keep him until his contract ends. Most NMC's are given to high priced players who if bought out, the penalty is long and expensive for the team to swallow.
