You basically gave us little to no information to work with. Overall, at first look, I would agree that they just gave him a 7 year contract, and he's a top if not elite player, so why trade him? Without context...

Only reason Heiskanen is on TB is because of cap issues. Teams in FHM rarely will offload old players with high salary because its impossible to find a trade for them and thats why they are trading away young core because they have some value. Thats it. Not much to discuss here and i doubt they can implement a fix for this that easily unless they increase trade value of those old players...but even then almost every team in NHL has cap issues few years in game and there is nobody who can take up that "bad" contract
