1.Why can I neither offer my unsigned draftees a contract nor make a transfer offer for those playing in Europe????
In the beta version it was possible, because it should be!

2.please read what I wrote here:

-I'm not sure if this is a bug or just me not understanding how the real NHL works. I just wanted to start the 13/14 season but I couldn't because I'm over the salary cap. The cap is at $70M, my payroll at 74. Since there was no time to trade (the game was that day), the only possibility was to demote players. I sent down a player earning $9.5M, but the
payroll only went down from 74 to 73-something. In the end, I had to demote 5 (!) players whose cap hits were worth almost $25M. And only then, after the match, my payroll went down to 50-something. Why not immediately?? Three important players were claimed by other teams while it would have been enough to only give up the most expensive one!

Now I had the same problem with the 1.0.3 version. When I started the game the salary cap was at $70M. That's why I had a payroll of $69M. Then I want to start the season and suddenly the cap is at $64M. Again I demoted the most expensive player and again it only freed up some hundred thousands of dollars.

This is cruel guys. Please fix it. When the game starts (in Aug), let the cap already be at $64M. And then when I demote a player, take his entire salary off the payroll. Thank you.

(Thank God I was only in Oct; I'll have to start from scratch and re-do all kinds of trades again but at least it won't take me long)
