One of the top forwards being nicknamed "Sid the Kid" kinda clued me in... I don't know about you guys but this is definitely an immersion-breaking problem for me and does not truly feel like you are playing your own unique setup.
I do believe they are truly fictional players, not just remodeled NHL players.. You getting a player nicknamed Sid the Kid I believe would just be random chance with that name in the nickname database, I believe.
