You can right click on a player and shop him to all teams at the exact same time. Saves a ton of time.
But you can't shop 2 players in the same trade. I've found I wished I could do that a lot and it's not possible. He has a very valid gripe here.

If I'm looking to trade Bob and George off I'll go talk to Atlanta for a while... can't find a good match there so I switch so I can talk to Philly for a while, but I have to go find Bob and George again. Why is a good question...
I'm wanting to talk to multiple teams about trading Bob and George, no good reason(beyond possibly code issues) why I should constantly have to add Bob and George back into the window.

WHY would you hard-code 3 players into a feature like that - it easily could and should be customizable.

You receive an email after you send over a trade offer of what players would make the deal work.
You also get a message from the other team immediately. Nothing as simple as the old "who would make it work" button but you get feedback.

I just tested this out and tried to trade someone to KC... throw up a KC player and it says "I'm sorry, but I will not accept trades that include vastly overpaid veterans." I know it's useless to continue talking to KC about my player now.
I change my player and it now says "OK, that doesn't sound to bad. I agree to execute this trade now."

Personally I like challenge, but I want instant gratification and feedback as well. IMO this does both, it's more challenging to put together a trade, and I get feedback so I don't sit and waste my time waiting on an email that probably won't be worth reading anyhow (especially when it comes near the trading dead line).
