So I am playing my first FHM4 game. I started in '73. Now I'm at the '75 draft and it is empty for all intents and purposes. There is nothing but scrubs there. I recall this issue from previous versions. Is this a bug? Does it have something to do with the NHL changing entry age?

Whatever it is, this is frustrating. What's worse is that I suspected this was coming in '74 when I saw how stocked that draft was. Whatever the issue, this is the one thing that remains that I still find is a problem when I play. As it is I love FHM4, and the faux minors in HM is really a nice touch. I just want to be able to count on there being a draft every year. When you're running the KC Scouts that's just about your only chance for success.

One other note: I noticed that Mel Bridgman was drafted by one team but signed by a different team a year later. How did the original team lose his rights? I don't think I missed a trade, but he was also never signed by the team that originally drafted him.
