A player sent to Europe from a NHL club after a transfer deadline passed

Simply put, a transfer deadline for Finland was 16th February and a NHL club sent a player back to Europe on 18th February.

Plus it would be nice if an option is given do I want a player back or not. Not sure I need a 4th goalie, which I cannot sent (due to game engine limitations) to minors or farm team...

No way around this one, unfortunately: parent teams (and in this case the NHL team is treated as a parent) need to have pretty much unlimited latitude on when and where they can send players. We've looked at a few ways of limiting it, usually as part of a broader package of changes that will improve loan handling, but haven't come up with a way yet that won't be exceptionally expensive in terms of performance or isn't impractical to code.
