Historic Mode 1.3.13:

July 1st, 1968:
I checked out the players available for the 1968 NHL Amateur Draft.
Then I looked at existing free agents.

20 year-old G Gary Edwards exists in the free agent pool but cannot be signed.
This is historically correct.

But the problem is that this player should be in the pool of players available for the 1968 NHL Amateur Draft.

In reality G Gary Edwards was drafted in 1968 in the 1st round 6th overall by St. Louis.

I am not sure how you determine players which players are available in which draft.
Does it depend on the date of birth or is it a flag set by FHM in the database?

So it is impossible for me to tell if this is a "Data Issue" or a programming bug.

Anyway, I hope this helps also fixing other problems with players not being in the pool of draftable players in the respective draft years.

Thanks!
