Even though Mcdonough had an NTC, Tampa was able to get rid of him. They basically told him, if you don't allow us to trade you, we'll send u down waivers (because he has an NTC, not an NMC)

Can the Leafs do that with Muzzin (since he also has an NTC), and do you think a team would claim him?

Muzzin's deal is also appealing for teams like Ottawa and Arizona, since his salary is lower than his cap hit (front-loaded deal). BUT, 2 years remaining

Not impossible but won’t be very easy

@LaffsFan You forgot to say please!
