Contract negociation - custom league

In custom league, i'm wondering

are the contract demands based on the player attributes only?

In my custom league with an 80 million salary cap, I have a guy who had 6 pts in 82GP and a 52 GR... he wanted 4 millions a year so I only gave him a qualifying offer.

A team offered him 12millions/3 years and I got a first and a third as compensation...

Is it possible for contract to be more based on performance? No team would lose a first and a third for a 6pts winger

Attributes are the biggest part of the salary demand, but the amount is also modified for performance. Extremely low totals like that, though, are more than the performance adjustment can compensate for.

We want to add an option like OOTP's where the amount of player valuation that comes from stats is adjustable, but it's a lot more complicated to do that in FHM because the relationship scoring levels and quality of play between leagues isn't as stable as it is in baseball, and the whole problem of hockey stats being heavily contextual. Every time I think I'm getting close, I realize that we don't have all the stats we need in-game yet. The upcoming update is going to significantly expand the stat generation in non-playable leagues, though; that'll be a big step in the right direction since we'll now have things like game ratings from those leagues.
