Erik Johnson expected to waive his NMC for the expansion draft

With the season coming to an end for the Colorado Avalanche last week, general manager Joe Sakic has set his sights towards the offseason. This summer will be a busier one that most given that the Avalanche have a a number of high profile free agents to re-sign while also needing to navigate through another expansion draft.

Luckily it seems as though one of the Avalanche veterans is set to make his life a little easier by taking a tough decision out of his hands.

As has been speculated all season, it is now all but confirmed that Erik Johnson plans to waive his no-movement clause so that the Avalanche don’t need to use up one of their protection spots on him during the expansion draft.
