I'd like to see improvements to the transaction related features. Such as improved trade/signing AI and better UI for the screens.

An example from a game I was playing the other day, in the 2026 offseason Leon Draisaitl was a free agent and a top 10 player in the league. In July he was asking for about $11.5 for 7 years which was fitting. The AI doesn't handle the cap very well so he went unsigned into late August. By that point he had lowered his price to about $6.5 * 7 years. There are two issues here. One, in the real world a player of that level would be signed - if teams couldn't fit him into the cap they would make moves to fit him. Two, if he did go unsigned in the situation and offered a reduced price it would be a far shorter deal. Vladimir Tarasenko and Matt Dumba this summer are good examples of this scenario.
