Without a way to make salary dump trades, the AI starts doing things like squeezing every penny out of the small amount of cap hit they can hide in the minors, which leads to very good players being sent down, or not qualifying any of it's RFA's. That's why AI teams tend to be conservative in their spending, and the players accomodate that, to an extent.
It would be interesting to rate GMs and teams on how tight they stick to the cap and maybe have that modify the AI's behavior.
