Nope - Shattenkirk worth much more and STL can't take on Nash's $7.7m - turbo044
They could if there's more pieces to the trade.
And, btw, St. Louis handed out 4 A's to players. So, Shatty being traded wouldn't disrupt their leadership group.

Nope. Not true. It's now a 10 team no trade clause - jimbro83
Lets say they buyout Girardi next year. Is that window before or after the expansion, also are teams allowed to do that for players who have an NMC so they can protect another player?

the buyout period is 48 hours after cup is awarded, so they'll be able to buy NMC guys out

This year's first buyout window started June 15th. The last expansion draft was held in June, prior to the 2000 entry draft. I would imagine that the NHL would have the buyout window happen before the expansion draft to allow teams to get their rosters finalized before they had to make hard decisions, ie: who to protect/not protect.
