Players for picks?
Is anyone else finding it impossible to trade a player for just a pick in return, even a lowly 7th rounder? I keep getting the message that "we can't remove so much money from our payroll", even when the trade meets a weakness and my scout rates the chances of the other team going for it as very likely?

Picks are almost never included in trades from what I see, unless it's 2 or 3 players plus a late rounder |

This is happening with literally every team every time I try to trade a player for a draft pick, which unfortunately is a bit of a game breaker for me at this point |

Just want to mention, I've seen trades between AI teams that involved a player for a pick.
Haven't tried as human though. |

During the beta phase i often did deals sending players away for picks - not every offer, understandably, was accepted but it´s definetly doable.

Well, I reported this in the bug forum and have yet to hear anything back...
In the meantime, I'm definitely becoming more of the opinion that this is some sort of issue with the trade AI. If I offer a player from my roster for a pick or a player with a lower wage then the trade is literally always refused for the reasons I previously stated above. But if said player is on a 2-way contract and sent down to the minors by me then the trade happens and the objection disappears. This is regardless of the cap space available to the team I am trading with or the relative (often minimal) difference in the salaries. So, for example, I've just gone through the trade block and decided I like the look of Nicholas Deslauriers from Buffalo and I'm gonna trade Matty Puempel for him from my expansion team. Buffalo's payroll is currently $59.8m and the relative difference of the two players is as follows: Matty Puempel 3* ability, 3.5* potential, salary 1.27m Nicolas Deslauriers 3* ability, 3* potential, salary 0.89m So a difference of around $400,000 dollars, for a player that is listed on the trade block by the AI for one that has a .5 better potential rating from myself. It's well within Buffalo's available cap space and a good deal for them all round. My scout rates the trade as very likely but it still gets refused on the grounds that Buffalo "can't remove so much money" from their payroll. Yet if I send Puempel, who I put on a 2-way contract, down to my AHL side and try the trade again it promptly gets accepted by the AI |

I just wanted to give a heads up that even if you don't hear back something, it doesn't mean your concern wasn't heard. Thanks! |

No problem. I wasn't having a moan about it, just letting you know I'd reported the issue and had come up with a little more info.
In general I'm loving the game, especially the expansion aspect, so aside from this trading issue FHM2 gets a big thumbs up from me so far |

I have no problem dealing players for picks in the month of july after that is a lot more harder but in july i tested and got a 3rd rounder for a 31 Shattenkirk at 7.5 mil salary in his last year , seems the AI is more flexible to deals in that month.
