Too many goalies in NCAA roster

Hi !

I'm currently playing my NHL save (2027/2028 season), and I was curious to look at the NCAA rosters and how they develop in time, in anticipation of my future NCAA save after the patch.

I saw several teams with weird rosters construction. Some teams had 38 players instead of the 35 allowed players for example.

The strangest thing was this though : several teams had 8 goalies on their roster, and Minnesota Duluth have 13 signed goalies but no center :

Odd, the draft logic is supposed to prevent choosing too many players of one position. I think the problem might be in the way the AI decides whether or not to compete for a player on signing day, there's logic to deter it from stockpiling one position, but it may not be strong enough, I'll have a look at that.
