Drafts suddenly only have part of round 1

Recently my historical game stopped having players in the entry draft. I think it happened a couple seasons ago but I didn't notice because my team was so strong I wasn't signing my draft picks. I just did a draft recently so you can see it in the recent history now. My prospect cupboard is very empty now. :-)

Yeah, the draft pools get very small as you approach the 2018-19 season, since the historical database only has players who've actually played in the NHL so far (I'm gradually expanding that, but slowly.) Once you hit 2018-2019 the fictional player generation will kick in and you'll start getting full draft classes again.
