In my opinion it would be great if the contract negotiation/extension functionality could be made more realistic. At least playing the NHL or any other league with a salary cap, I find it too easy to build a stacked team by getting some young players on the rise and give them low-money / long-term contracts.

Player asks seem to be based mainly on experience (games) whereas I think it would be better if also points production and ice time in the most recent season could be added as factors, or be given more weight, for determining player asks. This seems to be mainly an issue with players coming off their ELCs. As it is now, players coming off 40+ point seasons can still ask for around 1 million USD contract extensions. This routinely leads to too cheap contracts for those players.

I also think that unproven players (players in the minors without significant NHL experience) should never be asking for 3-year extensions. In real life those guys normally sign 1-year, max 2-year extensions.

Thanks for a great job guys!
