Some of the free agents in the draft pool haven't played since 2023 or 2024. Is it possible to remove them from the draft pool and add the higher ranked prospects not currently in the pool?

Klepov is in as Nikita Klyopov, and I do see Lars Steiner in the game

Hawkeye21 · 10-23-2025, 03:38 PM

They're all in the game, but they don't appear in the draft pool when I start a new game, so I can't draft them in 2026.

Report the names please

Cover seems to be getting moved to the 2027 draft for some reason, which is odd because his birthdate is correct in the database and he should be 2026 eligible. Steiner and Klyopov have correct data, too, and should be in the 2026 draft. I'm not sure what's going on there, we'll have to investigate further.

I'll update the list if there are others I notice.

Thanks, anyone else?

That should be it.

Everyone outside of the top 3 are missing in the 2026 draft pool after the most recent update.

Hawkeye21 · 11-22-2025, 09:49 PM

Are all of the missing players added for the upcoming update?

Hawkeye21 · 11-27-2025, 10:46 PM

Morozov, Gustafsson, Ignatavicius, Kwajeh, Hextrall, Nycz, Hafele, and Hemming are still missing in the 2026 NHL Draft pool after this week's update.

There doesn't seem to be enough players who are in their first NHL draft year in the draft pool. There are significantly more "overagers" even though NHL teams rarely draft those types of players. Is it possible to include all draft-eligible players instead of limiting the pool to 700ish?
