Thanks for putting in the effort for this game. Can't wait for the 2nd.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. The main difference is that it's a few months later in the game (July vs. February). It's just like a regular draft, so the user can participate. It's mainly there to direct the WHA AI to be a little more efficient at signing NHL free agents (but there's still room for improvement, the NHL teams are too good at extending their better players.)
