So often I see a Rebuild outlook team trading away draft picks or prospects to a Win Now outlook team in exchange for an NHL player (usually a good one too). This doesn't make sense if the AI was using the outlook system properly (which in theory should be working well to make player movement more realistic).
Most recent examples are the two biggest trades so far (one month in) of a new save: NYR (Win Now) send 2.5 star defenseman Ryan Lindgren to Buf (Rebuild) for a 2nd round pick; NYR (Win Now) send 2.5/3.5 star center Filip Chytil to Mtl (Balanced, Rebuild) for a 2nd round pick (yeah also really bad value wise for the Blueshirts, so I guess that one makes sense for the Habs at least).
Some suggestions/wishlisty things:
- maybe something needs to be fixed with how the AI is implementing the outlook system
- in the meantime, it would be nice to have a 'review trade' option where we could veto AI trades if they make no sense
- also, it would be nice (I'm guessing not possible due to how most of the settings are only editable once a year) to be able to tune the trade frequency mid-season, I thought I had seen this before but I can't find it so maybe I'm thinking of July 1
- lastly, it would be cool to have a simple trades on/off toggle to limit trading during the season to certain times to help better manage it until it is fixed

Well you could go edit the players back to their old teams if you're in commissioner mode, but that seems like too much work given it's not going to help the AI behave any different. You can turn off trades in the league edit screen, but it can only be done on July 1.
