I think it'd be a major step forward if the AI considered geography and local rivalries, especially when it comes to blockbuster trades. IRL, there's barely any mathematical chance the Rangers would send Lafreniere to (what amounts to) their cross-town rivals.
GM's have a grave reluctance to trade a star player to a team they play a lot during the season, instead usually opting for the other conference to minimize the opportunities for said player to come back and haunt them.
Would be great to see this modeled in the game.
