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. |
No, unfortunately I don't believe you can do that. The WHA Merger/destruction was a really weird time for the NHL and the teams coming in. The ultimate teardown of all the WHA teams was a big jumbled mess and honestly just thinking about it, how you could safely do it yourself, short of just back-assigning players to teams.

So maybe it will be preferable to wait until the end of the month before migrating your league. They will still refine it a bit.

I think you're fine to do it now. I did a video here -
