I mean that is kinda the point of a NMC.
The problem is teams give them to everyone.

He was 32 this year and 33 next year. $8.1m for the next 4yrs.
5v5 last 4yrs
VGK 161gms, 1.15p1/60, 1.58p/60 (8.3oish%)
SJS 127gms, 1.18p1/60, 1.56p/60 (8.0oish%)
he's a solid player and can handle C defensively but his production hasn't really been at the level of his reputation tbh, even though his usage has skewed offensive.
over that same time frame some other Cs...
Tavares (35) 1.56p1/60, 2.08p/60 (9.7oish%)
Larkin (29) 1.43p1/60, 1.72p/60 (9.2oish%)
Hayton (25) 0.88p1/60, 1.25p/60 (8.2oish%)
I think vegas would be clever to move him out now - i don't think he's quite what they expected him to be.

That Kings roster is a mess, but sunshine and the Pacific division I guess.
Laviolette is also the polar opposite of the dump n chase shovel n grind coaches they have had

Out: Laviollette, Hapern
Never in: Woodcroft, Cassidy

I think EF seemed to suggest Gruden and Giordano were in too.

The original point of NMC’s was to protect players from ending up in the situation Wade Redden or Alex Mogilny did in the early cap era.
Back then, teams could bury a player’s entire cap hit in the AHL. And once they were down there, they were disincentivized from ever calling them back up because they had to go through “re-entry waivers”, and if another team claimed them, you were on the hook for 50% of their salary & cap hit for the remainder of their contract.
Once the NHL took that loophole away from teams, NMC’s should have gone the way of the Dodo as well. Especially once teams started handing them out to every “B” or “C” level star out there.

Is Darryl Katz trying to kill McDavid's joy for the game so that he just retires as opposed to signing as a FA elsewhere?

It was honestly even weirder than the shit he did here.
As I recall, he invited a few of the youngest players in Columbus’s camp to, individually, come over to his house for lunch with him and his wife.
Once they came over, he’d tell them to unlock their phones and hand them over, air-drop their pictures onto his TV and then after scrolling through them for a while, basically tell the player to GTFO. Without even serving them the lunch they’d been invited over to have.
Just complete psycho shit.
