Carter isn't waiving his NMC for SJ. Not that Grier would want him. And it doesn't sound like Petry is waiving his NTC for SJ either. Going to be tough for Dubie to acquire EK65 without Petry going the other way. 3.5 mil retention is a realistic number. Don't think it'll be higher than that.

Absolutely 0% chance of either Carter or Petry waiving for the Sharks, You'll need to trade Petry to another Eastern Conference team. And good luck with that.

Carter liked LA, I think there's a chance

Not sold on SJS being on Petry's 15 team NTC, can think of 15 worse options

Jeff Carter " I don't want to move my family anymore and want to retire a Penguin."
What part of that statement makes you think he's waiving his FULL NMC ANYWHERE?

Carter's not moving. Petry's list has all the Canadian teams on it, so there is a good chance SJ isn't on it.

Dubas: You won’t be in our lineup this season, so I recommend accepting a move somewhere if you wanna actually get playing time.

Carter: But I want to stay in Pittsburgh.

Dubas: And I want a Filipino hooker to lick peanut butter off my toes, but we can’t always get what we want.

How that convo should go

Petry isn't waiving from a potential cup contender and that's if Pittsburgh gets extremely lucky this year. To a Sharks team that's in a massive rebuild.

Pretty sure Dubas can afford the latter…

The Canadian teams only cover 7 of his 15 team no trade clause. He wants to stay around Michigan with his family, so my guess for the rest of his list would be:

SEA
LA
SJ
ANA
VGK
ARI
COL
DAL

All just totally a guess though

This was my guess too. STL and NSH are intriguing (potential) trade partners.

Jeff Carter F you pay me to be in the press box then I'm not moving my family. Being he has the FULL NMC Dubas has zero leverage can't waive him can't send him to Scranton. All he can do is healthy scratch him and pay him.

Not a bad guess, but I'm willing to bet that Col and LV aren't on it.

I was thinking Fla, TB, Car, Dal, AZ, Sea, Anh, and CBJ... also could include SJ, LA, or Phi
