Draft and Home Ice issues in Historical Replay

I'm in the middle of a historical replay game with evolution turned off and the most recent update applied. I started in 75-76, am currently in 87-88 and I just noticed that the game has stopped logging the WHA Amateur drafts after the 78-79 season. Additionally, I've noticed that the Home Ice rules in the playoffs seem to be a little off. I haven't adjusted the format from 8 teams, no reseeding and after the first round in any year that I have been paying attention, the lower seed seems to always have home ice advantage. It seems that the season by season record holders aren't kept properly after the 78-79 season in the WHA when clicking into the Leaderboards section, as well.

The playoff seeding looks like an error in the first-year WHA playoff setup, we'll fix that. The draft logs after 81-82 seem to drop the logs between 1979 and the most recent draft (although the data is still there), I'm guessing there's a hardcoded value somewhere that's doing that, we'll try to find it. The leaderboards have something similar going on, although it seems to start later and doesn't affect the actual record-holder, just the full leaderboard you get by clicking on "Season."
