FTB: Wayne Simmonds contract details includes a no-trade clause

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Wayne Simmonds to a two-year, $900k AAV contract a couple weeks ago. In the contract there was a reported No-Trade Clause, but the details weren’t released until the hockey information powerhouse CapFriendly got the news.

In addition to making league minimum in salary next season, Simmonds will have a full no-trade clause for the 2021-22 season, and then a 10-team no-trade list in the following year. This is no different to his $1.5M AAV contract last season, which included a full no-trade clause.

Before going any further, it should be stated that this does not mean Simmonds must be protected in the Expansion Draft, only No-Move Clauses are automatically protected unless the player gives their consent.
