Circular trades

It's great to see trades now in the historical mode. I suppose some adjustments do need to be made, so here is an example.

Dave Dryden was traded four times on deadline day. He was sent from Vancouver to Pittsburgh to Detroit (who put him on the reserve roster) to the Rangers and then back to Vancouver.

He was traded back to the same team that he started the day on!!

Three or even four way trades are possible I suppose, but I doubt that the same team who traded him out truly wants him back. Screenshot attached.

I also saw plenty of cases where the player traded never played on the team traded to... including a young Guy Lapointe traded for five guys (including roster players) but not setting foot on ice with his new team for the whole season. I think giving up five players to get him, he'd be coveted enough to see ice time...
