I've simulated multiple present-day NHL seasons and I keep running into an issue with the 23-man roster limit. According to the NHL, "There may be a maximum of 23 players on each Club's playing roster at any one time from the commencement of the NHL regular season through the trade deadline." But in every one of my FHM 4 seasons, the limit has stayed in place until the end of the playoffs instead. I've also noticed something seems off with the waiver system. For instance, during an injury situation I called up a goalie from the AHL to the NHL to fill in. This AHL goalie served as the backup in one NHL game but didn't play; I sent him back to the AHL three days later and he was forced to clear waivers. According to the NHL, "A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, and has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b)"
