NSC might be up for it. A colleague told me, that the PvdA did not take the option of a left-leaning coalition with a center party in the past, so they might not this time around either.
They might be, but the signs so far have not been in that direction: here's Omtzigt saying he'd rather have a right-wing minority government over GL-PvdA, and here's him playing up how hard he thinks it would be to govern with them.
I'd be interested in knowing which coalition your colleague is thinking of, but when coalition negotiations don't work out, it's pretty much impossible to point fingers to a specific party - clearly none of the parties were prepared to give more concessions.
