Also it makes no sense that the next day, July 1st, the trade engine now considers him completely worthless (untradeable) because he is over-age, even though he can still play one more season. It also makes no sense that other teams would be willing to trade for him on June 30th at full value (prospects & 1st round picks), and not take into account those factors, and any other impending over-age players they already have. Instead they will trade full value for him, then just release him the next day.
The trade engine needs to value the player based on the expected future length of his junior career , and the actual needs of the other teams you are trying to trade him with. At the moment it doesn't do a very good job of that, if at all.

Naturally, improving the trade engine will benefit most of the playable leagues in the game.
However, I was more talking about improvement in scouting, in the news system, milestones, etc...
