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 take on his 10.5(?) contract. CPU should also be able to offer back bad contracts along with better prospects for taking on the deal. 

Allow multi-team trades. Dont think this needs an explanation. 

Allow users to move draft picks on rosters the way you can move players in different leagues. The Hawks have Vancouvers second next year from the Stillman trade and I have to wait until EA does a roster update until I can start my franchise because Vancouver wont accept the trade that was made last week.

Also, where do I go to delete Franchise mode files? Dont see an option to anywhere.

    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.

    3 team trades happen all the time, just had one this week. Detroit, Anaheim, Florida.

    granted it is technically 2 transactions. 
    however it is not uncommon for players and picks to get packaged, or for a team to take on a player, retain 50% of his salary and trade him to the team that wants him.

    for example, Arizona could take Kane from Chicago. Retain 5.25 and ship him to whoever. Chicago and Arizona would then receive players and picks from the aquiring team.
