This is more of a technical thing, but I would love to see players just sitting a year out if they don't land a contract they want. Like, if Malcolm Subban becomes a free agent and no one offers him a contract, he gets transfered to a "team" called "Did not play" and he'd show up in free agency again next summer. The stats would then look like this:
2021/22 Boston Bruins NHL
2022/23 Boston Bruins NHL
2023/24 Did not play
2024/25 Metallurg Magnitogorsk KHL
I'm getting kinda tired of seeing star players play in terrible leagues like the Ukranian one. That stuff is just dumb, but I get it has to happen in order for the game to work properly.
