I got a question on this new setup possibility on expansion drafts.

I have been playing in FHM5 up to now and started in the now defunced WHA as a history-save. I haven't reached the date they folded and there was a major expansion set to have some of the teams joining NHL.
My concern before was that I really didn't like the harsh rules that was the real setup. Just a couple of goalie and some players was to be protected by WHA teams. It was like XMas for NHL teams just picking so many top players. I see my WHA team gutted

I had in mind permitting a few more protected players but hasn't seen any way of doing this earlier.

Is there a way to set this up in FHM6 and this latest patch ?
Could I even do it in ongoing save ?
I understand one has to be on 1 July when moving the save to FHM6, so do I need to make that move 1 year before the WHA-NHL merger ?
If this merger is hardcoded in FHM5 it might take place before 1 July 1979, as it did in history. So that's why I ask if I should do the FHM5 to FHM6 move the year before.
