I would like to see more players refuse contracts based on ice-time, role, team position & expectations, refusal for a rebuild, age vs window of opportunity for a cup run, players acquired or traded etc.... basically different factors or influences that will help they're decision or outright refuse to sign again.. A determining factor could also be clarifying his role before his decision is met, like if you promised him he's a top 6 player, you best trade someone to make room so he will accept that proposal and not get swindled to play third line or fourth line duty.

At the moment we can pretty much resign any player we want without repercussions.. This would certainly add a blend to one of the most important aspects of running any team, and that's getting your players under contract before they expire.

Trade requests would also have a unique addition.... why would you sign and horde a skilled player that you really don't need just to stack your team and place him on the third or fourth line and expect him to play that way for much of his contract while only having him unhappy ?
