Franchise Mode Trades

Also, off-topic (except it's about how the game's - specifically the game's CPU GM AI - is broken): WHY do teams always IMMEDIATELY sign drafted players???????

I saw the Red Wings bury 87 overall Anthony Mantha on the 3rd line, 84 overall Tyler Bertuzzi on the 4th, in order to make room on the 2nd line for 1st overall pick, 80 rated... some dude. Ola Nilsson? Not important.
Like... how about wait until he's no longer a "depth forward" (ACCORDING TO THE GAME'S OWN AI!!) before signing him and putting him in the NHL? Maybe even put him on the 1st line in the AHL and let him play a TON of minutes and... drumroll... develop?
Why are they killing the development of two young top-6 forwards so that the 1st overall pick can struggle in a role he isn't ready for? Why does the game have "role" if not to do something with it.
I'm a Caps fan: why do I see 2nd line W Tom Wilson on the 4th line (86), 2nd line W TJ Oshie on the 4th line (84), and two depth forwards playing on the 2nd line? Why... why are players playing out of their role? I mean... I can understand having two 2nd line forwards and a 3rd scoring on the 2nd and a 2nd, 3rd checking, and 4th on the 3rd, and a 3rd checking and two 4ths on the 4th line, if you're trying to create depth, if it enhances chemistry because you're putting a 2nd line PWF on the 3rd line and a 3rd scoring SNP on the 2nd line with 2 playmakers... but they never show any intelligence with it. It always ruins chemistry and forces players to get pissed off and drop from an 86 overall to an 80 or so, and then demand a trade... it's baffling.

And you'll so often see teams sign an old 2nd line player to a LONG contract despite having 2 or more top-6 or better players needing a new contract the next season... they can't have the AI at least never sign guys to contracts longer than the length of their young stars-to-be? So that way they can actually choose between young star and old rental?
So many decisions are just baffling, mind-bottling decisions that have NOTHING to do with how difficult it is to program a better AI. (Again... give us the ability to edit players, make CPU-CPU trades, etc, and we can fix ALL these non-gameplay problems. It's so goddamn frustrating. They gain NOTHING by forcing us to play a buggy, frustrating game instead of just giving us more control.0
