Not enough players exposed in for expansion drafts
Not sure is this is the right place to post this (since the beta forums are closed), but there's nowhere near enough players exposed in expansion drafts. In the test drafts I've run, we have run out of players to pick before actual picks in the draft, and the quality of available players is quite low.
I imagine the player protection rules are hard-coded into the game, since I haven't found anything in the game files that outlines how many players/who teams protected. |

What sort of league is this happening in? Regular league or custom, and if it's custom, what's the size of the league?

It was an expansion in a regular NHL sandbox game, with two expansion teams.

Did you by chance have any filters on? I have run an expansion draft in an NHL Sandbox for each beta version and had more then enough players each time.

No, I made sure to double check since it was strange not seeing a large amount of players in the draft. The drafted ended short one player, but I'll test again on the most recent version.

I'll have a look, too. That's very strange, there should be far more players available than are actually needed.

Alright, I simmed up to July 1st, and counted a total of 77 players on the list of players to pick, and a total of 70 picks in draft. While there are actually enough players now, a total of 77 players exposed from 30 teams seems way too low (looking at some mock expansion drafts, the total number unprotected players should be closer to 675?). The filter is configured to show everyone.

Now I'm at the 67th pick in the drafter (currently selecting skaters), but there's no-one available to draft. I overlayed the filter screen, since I don't believe there are any limiting filters in place.

Is it possible the restricted/unrestricted fa checkboxes are limiting the players shown to guys who are either rfa's or ufa's?
They may not not be, I don't actually know. It just seems to be a question worth asking.

It looks like it may be miscalculating which players are exempt. And we should probably adjust the default expansion draft rules to match what we know about the real 2017 rules anyhow, so I'll get that on the bug list.

I assume that's the case, since it looks like teams can only protect 16 players total:
