Franchise mode trading options
When fielding offers from other teams on a player you want to trade, allow the ability to retain salary. Im starting a Franchise with Chicago and look for a trade for Patrick Kane, but no one can tak...

3 team trades are registered as such according to cap friendly, so I believe it’s thing.
Also, what you are talking about is easy, but now imagine you want Wennberg, but needed another team to first retain half his salary in order to be under the cap. There is no way to do that in the game.
Okay, so basically you want to Trade a draft pick for money?
My work around.
Wennberg is worth 5 million. I have a player named Matthieu Joseph with a 2.8 million dollar contract. I'm replacing him on my line with Wennberg. I trade Joseph for a draft pick.... I mean how is that hard? I'm probably going to get a 2nd or 3rd for him. Done.
Sorry, totally whiffed on that.
Okay so, Trade Joseph for a 3rd round draft pick, add that draft pick onto the Wennberg deal, convince his current team to retain the salary eqaul to the value if that draft pick.
Seattle (Wenn's original team) gets my 2nd and Buffalo's 3rd.
Knoxville (my team) get Wennberg with Seattle keeping 2.5 million.
Buffalo gets Joseph.
I still have 2.8 million freed in cap space, and I have all my lines filled and a scratched player (becuase yes I play with injuries on).
That's basically the exact three team trade you want in the game, no?
Oh @Beauts90 and as for CapFriendly, while I took like that site its not an officially sanctioned NHL site. Those deals, which are ratified by the NHL are considered 2 individual trades or sometimes 3 individual trades.
Team A trades with Team B.
Team B trades with Team C.
Team C trades with Team A.
Its never ratified as A gives to B who gives to C who gives back to A and C. Capfriendly uses the three team trade as an easy way to explain the wheeling and dealing done behind the scenes. GMs are very savvy and you know they get together to work out all the fine details without telling the general public. That's basically how Vegas got an amazing Expansion Team when almost all the others were bad for a few years.
But I digress, this is supposed to be about the game.
Not exactly. I want to be able to acquire a player from another team and have them retain 50% of the salary and pay a draft pick to another team to retain another 50% so I get the player at 25% of their cap hit without having to give up one of my players. Teams have been doing this a lot the last few years when they don’t have the cap space.
I know this is not technically a 3 way trade, but it is the best way to implement it into the game.I have to put my hat in the ring in favour of adding three team trades to NHL.
IrishOwl is correct, that there are no official 3-team trades done at the NHL office. It’s usually registered as two or three separate trades.
That said, teams negotiate them as three teams and come to terms based on what team A is sending team B and/or C, and so on. Since we can’t control more than one team in Franchise Mode, the easiest way to accomplish this would be to allow us to bring a third team in to negotiations.
