I think I have it worked out. Try this: on the next July 1, change the number of contracted players allowed in the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL to 50. The problem seems to be arising out of the conflict between the 50-man protected list and the signing limits.

I want to examine that in a little more detail at a later point, but right now making them the same size seems to end the major junior AI's habit of releasing a player whenever it signs a new one, but without doing anything really odd like resulting in excessive numbers of players being signed - it seems to hove in the mid-30's for most teams. It's not a perfect rendition of the CHL's rules, but in practice it results in more realistic handling of players, so I'll take that for now.
