And I agree about the happiness level. The second you sign them they go straight to your main team, and you have to send them down, which makes them unhappy. No one's ever happy being sent down, but how do you develop your rookies without throwing them onto a top line and tanking your season? I'm not really sure what the balance is. You can't even start your rookies in the minors.
I think you just summed up exactly the issues I was trying to raise above is a far more succinct and to the point manner. Thank you very much.

And yes, these are the issues that concern me. Perhaps the FHM development system isn't really geared toward/ready for historical mode. It seems to me that many of these players are destined to sit undeveloped buried on good or even mediocre teams. There is some precedent for this, but it seems to go too far.

I'd love to get more feedback on how other people have experienced this.
