@CanuckJohnny:
Great list of suggestions :-)

Regarding your statement for below mentioned topic:
Itīs illegal in NHL, but not in other leagues.
In european leagues itīs pretty common to talk to upcoming Free Agents in December / January and many have at least agreements to sign contract.
It was just a try to get a bit more realism to european leagues without crashing current game logic. free agency doesnīt start on 1st July in europe, you can sign contracts for next year with a different team all over the season.


Someone posted this and I'd like to address it:

"Contracts / Free Agents
a) add an option to declare interest in upcoming free agents (could be as a loose talk with players during the season to say 'hey, we are interested in you as a 'player role' (depth player, top 6 FW, .starting goalie, ...) and we could offer a long term deal - what do you think?'
player could turn down your interest or if interestet: reduce probabilty to resign with his current club and join free agency.
should be a spam all players option - perhaps limit number of possible 'declare interest actions' to 2-3 per month"
-> Since this is illegal IRL, if this were something the community wanted and the devs chose to include, it should either involve negative repercussions if "caught" or have an option to turn it off, or both.
