Other than that, it does raise some questions.
A few years ago, we had an organization in which our key roster players were willingly taking hometown discounts just to maintain playing for Vancouver (Naslund, Salo, Ohlund,). Now you have players that don't care for much either way if they were to keep playing for Vancouver or not.
(Jovo too I believe preferred to stay in Van)
Anyways, kinda makes you wonder about things...

Other than that, it does raise some questions. | That was not the point...sure he would love to stay in vancouver but what if the team wants to head into a different direction. Wouldn't you want to atleast get something in return rather than him just signing anywhere cuz we no longer have the intention of resigning him...
Another question is what if a tempting offer was sent for Ohlund but he refuses to waive his NTC (just an example...JBO for Ohlund). Would you boo/hate ohlund?

I think Ohlund's not coming back no matter what because if Gillis intends on re-signin the Sedins and they even get close to their 6.5 asking price... well... do the math, 3 players (Sedins and Luongo) will be eating up HALF the $40 million salary cap next year. Throw Demitra and a few others in that are at the 3-4 million mark and suddenly you've used 75% of your salary cap on 6 players and you need to fill out another 18 roster spots with 25% of the salary cap.

Ohlund over the last few years has gotten slower, and produced less and less points. He's not even our top shutdown defense men anymore. The last few years he was paired against top guys like Iginla but thats Willy Mitchell's job now. I wouldn't resign him unless its for the same price, 3.5 mill.

Agents purposely ask for NTC in contracts all the time. It's the players rights to have that in their contract. Quote:

Yes, if we try to resign him but he chooses to go elsewhere

SOB has more than what Vannenen brings
SOB can somewhat move the puck a bit
Vannenen is a bigger frame tho for that purpose
and SOB right now looks pretty good with edler/Beiksa
