I would never be involved in a business that gave out high interest loans. Just my 2 cents.
Got an email about a job with Reynolds tobacco. Told them my mother was a smoker who died of cancer and that I would only work for companies that improved health. But many people work for tobacco companies so to each his own.

Is that specifically in the CBA? It's not like Seattle is going to take him.

That is not in the CBA, its an expansion draft rule. Any players with a NMC must be protected UNLESS the player agrees to be exposed.

I guess its fair to say that Buffalo should beg Skinner to waive his NMC cause so they can expose him, expecting, as you suggested, that there is no way that Seattle would take him. I don't remember any team successfully getting one their players with an NMC to agree to be exposed anyway for the Vegas draft?
Seattle 2021 NHL Expansion Draft rules same as Golden Knights followed

for goalie rules, Trevor Kidd had a huge chest pad but they changed the rule to make them much smaller.
General thread hygiene comment ...
Folks, let's please try to stick to NHL-related stuff and not get distracted into discussions about the business practices of various owners. Yes, it's tangentially related and no, I don't care. This group goes from business to politics in about 3.1 seconds and then immediately into personal conflicts. So, yeah ... let's not do that. OK? Safer to just assume all the owners are creeps and get on with life.

Dreger tweeted that Mike Babcock is going back behind the bench. At the University of Saskatchewan. He played there in 1981-82, in between seasons with Saskatoon and Moose Jaw in the WHL. Then he coached 1 season at the University of Lethbridge in 1993-94 after 2 meh years coaching Moose Jaw.
Assuming the school's athletics department exercises their usual oversight on Babs, then this is a lot more appropriate for his return to the bench than another NHL job would be.
Is Skinner in the doghouse in Buffalo?
Edit: he skated on the 5th line at practice today.
