I had this happen after a trade (initiated by a game controlled team) for Henrik Tallinder. Detroit dumped 5 or so players onto waivers to make monetary room for him...players like Nyquist...good, solid starters if not stars.
My post in the bugs report thread read like this:

I think I saw a post somewhere about this, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to bring it up again as it happened in my game last night...with the latest version, in my first season that I just started.
I'm playing the Sabres and I put Henrik Tallinder on the trade list...right around Jan 1st I got a trade offer from the Detroit Red Wings offering a younger forward, not particularly capable (6.0 rating) but I figured I'd go for it. He would fill a nice role with the Rochester Americans and at least I got something for Tallinder, who's contract was up at the end of the season...and he's old...and his skills have declined.
I tried to negotiate a draft pick into the deal too, but as soon as I opened that window, Detroit informed me they didn't have the money to afford Tallinder's contract and it wouldn't allow the trade.
I closed the window and then re-opened the email from Detroit about the trade and accepted the trade with no issues...except...
Detroit ended up tried to sneak 4 or 5 players through waivers down to the minors. Without thinking I claimed Gustav Nyquist...a player I've coveted and had unsuccessfully tried to trade for. Of course...I got him.
Then I remembered reading somewhere about this issue...and I kinda felt bad about it, but I figured he would have been claimed anyway....
The Red Wings ended up losing all the players they put on waivers...good, solid players for the most part.
So there is an obvious issue in this instance. I wonder how many other teams have done this, dumping solid, if not real good players into waivers to make room and these players would never have been waived in real life...
It needs to be fixed....
Thanks for listening.
Besides that, I'm enjoying the hell out of this game.
