Once you're about 3 or 4 seasons in to a franchise/dynasty mode... it's a crapshoot for who's on what team because it's also a crapshoot of who's retired, what new rookies are good, who's improved, who's got worse, etc. So I don't have an issue with it really. Who's to say some of those trades couldn't happen anyway years from now.
Hell this is my lineup about 30games into my 3rd season:
Nash - Stamkos - Iginla
Brassard - Backlund - Watt (he's awesome somehow)
Simmonds - Gilles - RandomNameRookie
Nystrom - Sutter - Chucko
Regehr - Alzner
Bouwmeester - Pelech
Giordano - RandomNameRookie
Kipper
Irving
The only "rule" I go with trade-wise is if Sutter's traded someone away, then I do too.
