You don't need to force it, trades will happen. Look at me for example, I've been "blacklisted" as some suggest yet I've still managed to make trades. I don't know how but I've done it. I guess the "blacklisting" isn't out in full force yet.
As for as "keep 1 UFA", bad idea! if you have the money than you should be able to keep the guys want to keep.
For good or bad, the league has evolved where trading is minimum. If you look hard enough, you will find a deal.
I think we had this discussion last year too...it got nowhere and I think it is fine as is.
Just to add to this, I loved the agents back in the day, sure some of them played favorites but it added another realistic element to the game.

Thats not realistic though. If that was the case, Bouwmeester would still be in Florida, Gaborik would still be in minny, I can go on forever. The UFA batches are SOOOO brutal that it does not help a bottom feeder team whatsoever. You can say its a bad idea because your a contender, this allows bottom teams to play ball with the contenders.
I dont want to call out any GMs but this does in fact force trading. The Canucks have not made 1 trade all year, im not saying its a bad thing because if Sandra is happy with her team then so be it, but if this system was implemented she would lose Campbell or Vokoun if she wanted to "leave her team be". This would force her to trade one of them or let them walk if she was not in a playoff position.
