The player is 20, was drafted 2 years prior, and spent the previous year with Rögle BK in Sweden. He's actually developed nicely and is ready for NHL action. The curious thing is that when I'm in his profile and I click "Action," there is an option to "To BUF (NHL)" but he doesn't show up on my active roster. He's still on my protected list (which informs me that he is on Buffalo's roster, as does his profile page) but he's still not on my lineup screen or my active roster list. I checked and he's definitely under contract and he's on my protected list.
Of course, after I click "To BUF (NHL)" his profile (and my protected list) indicates that he has been moved to the Buffalo NHL roster, despite not showing up on my active roster page. Instead, it subsequently reads: "To RCH (AHL)" - which makes sense if he were actually on my active roster, lol.
Anyone else face a similar problem? Is it just a glitch we're stuck with, is there an end around solution, or am I missing something glaringly obvious?
Thanks in advance!
I hope this bug is already known to the developers as i had the same problem in all games so far with John Gibson (G-Ducks) - always traded for him to develop him as backup for Fleury and as future starter ... once you send him down and there are already 2 goalies in the farm he gets automatically sent to the reserve list and you won´t be able to ever see him again on either roster - he´s listed on the respective roster but ain´t showing up - neither on the Pens nor in Wilkes-Barre
