Player still showing on college team dev report despite being signed to a pro team now

Had a nice sophomore prospect who was going to be a first liner for me get snapped up by his NHL team in the offseason much to my chagrin.

He appeared on the first development report of the year despite now being in Belleville, I thought maybe he would come off the report after that first one but he's still on there now. Is this intended? It's not causing any issue per se but I can imagine if I get a few more guys drafted over time (this guy was drafted at the start of the save by default) then it could crowd the report. Technically I still own his NCAA rights as shown on his contract tab but he's never going to return to college now he's in the pros.

I suspect that's because his NCAA rights are still with the college team, I don't think that's getting cleared properly in some circumstances when the player signs with an NHL team. We'll get that fixed.

Thanks Jeff, Yeah I'd simmed forward to the playoffs at the end of the year and he's still on there so I figured that must be the case. Nice to know that he's doing well and improving in the AHL though

Are there plans for any of the content updates to add 'flavour' content for the NCAA sims?

For example, email notifications should your player get drafted, as this period in the college season tends to be very quiet in terms of relevant news items whilst you sim through and it would be cool to see which of your guys go on to make it(without having to look through the transaction logs/alumni info).

Also, the emails you get from your owner still say things like "Focus - trying to bring in a guy to help us now as we're doing well" or whatever as it would in the NHL/pro level updates.

Not a big deal and I know it's in its infancy as a mode, just thought I'd ask as I'm loving it so far!
