Negative value is something we definitely need to see as it would improve that issue a ton. I’ve also suggested in previous years to allow teams to set cap space as a surplus or want (assuming those matter) as a way to try and help get rid of contracts.

I’m wondering how often you guys see the cpu hand out bad contracts? As bad as AI GM’s are, they seem to be programmed to know exactly how much a player is worth. This makes trading for bad contracts in later years impossible as a team will have 10 NHL defenceman and no goalie, but all the d are on good contracts so they have decent value and I have to give up assets to try and help that team if they do need to sign someone.

Another part of the issue is players don’t nose dive on the back half of their careers nearly fast enough in the game. 

If we could get a 28 year old UFA demanding a 7 year contract, and then when he’s 32/33 we start to see him decline into a third line player, then we’d have plenty of bad contracts later in franchise mode.
