There's an 8-foreigner restriction in the game. The problem is, while there's no written rule restricting the number of foreigners in the SHL, teams do voluntarily limit the number they sign. When we tried having no restrictions on foreign player usage, AI teams brought in a large number of players from countries like Canada and the USA, since those countries have bigger pools of players than Sweden and the SHL pays better than any North American league other than the NHL. We've tried a few different methods of avoiding this, and we'll continue to work on it, but for now the best way of representing the actual roster composition in the SHL is the rule limiting the number of foreign players.
