Signing players

[omjo]

Found another bug :P

So I'm in the WHL, went to free agent and went to the offer contract page, clicked the back button and skipped the day.

The player I was about to sign signed a $0 for one year.
I mean, I'm flattered he took such a pay cut to play for me, but...

The major junior contracts were switched to automatically complete when you attempt to sign the player (assuming there isn't some issue, e.g. a European not wanting to play in Canada, preventing that), but they need the offer to be submitted to get the correct contract data - which will always be a nominal $3000 salary, representing the player's per-diem allowance, and a length that extends through his overage year. Otherwise, you get a single year with no salary. If you want to get him off your roster, you can get do that by using right-click - buyout rights, it'll cut him immediately.
