My issue with these being unrealistic is the players on long term contracts. The examples being listed are for players on expiring contracts.
Hawks could not afford Teuvo, so yes that makes sense.
Tkachuk was going in to final year and would no resign, makes sense to trade him.
DeBrincat also needed a new contract.
Chychurn IRL had this year and next year, not 7/8 years left on his contract like some of the players going on the trading block in FHM9.
The issue lies with how the computer manages their roster while dishing out their contracts. Backing themselves into a corner and not having a way to navigate around the salary cap.
23yr old Miro Heiskanen with a 7yr contract should not be on the trading block, period.
