Player Progression

[TMpgh]

I'm in my third season and I've noticed that young players in my minor league system just don't seem to progress at all. Must I play prospects on the NHL club in order for them to improve?

For example, I have a young defender with potential of 8.5 but actual skill level of a 6. He's been training his defensive skill and mentality for three seasons and none of those stats have improved, though he does have potential grown defensively and his overall number remains a 6.0.

Thanks in advance.

might be a display glitch which gets fixed with the next update (iirc).
If you´re playing in commish mode go to Edit player, just press 'save player' and the progress, if there´s any , should show up in updated abilty/potential ratings
