This displays a lack of understanding of what a General Manager of a professional hockey team does and what a Coach of a professional hockey team does.
It is the GM that does roster changes (hires, fires, demotes, promotes, put on IR etc.) NO ONE but the GM has ANYTHING to do here.
It is the COACH that decides the line up using the roster that the GM decides.
If the developers of this game fails to understand how things work in real life then no wonder the game has these kind of problems.
If I as the GM decide to have a roster of 20 or 23 players is of NO concern to the Coach whatsoever! He has to play the players that his GM has given him. If he doesn't like it he can talk to the GM and ask him to add more or different players to the roster but he can NOT make roster changes himself. If he doesn't like what the GM does he has one option only and that is to resign his job.
The game should reflect this job division otherwise it becomes impossible to play as a GM because the AI countermands your decisions. The name of the game is Franchise Hockey MANAGER - That alone should make you think.
