Why is the draft filled with players from weird leagues?

I'm at the 2017 draft and many of the players are from leagues like Hockeyettan, Third Division and various other leagues that I've never really heard of. Players from the these leagues are taken with most of the first round picks which is weird because I would normally expect most first rounders to be from CHL, SHL, Liiga, etc. Is this suppose to happen or is it just a glitch in player generation?

I noticed this too for my upcoming draft, I think it might be 2017 or 2018. I thought it was weird as well, there might have been 4 or 5 Junior league guys in the first round rankings. I didn't noticed it for the prior drafts.

Maybe it's just an anomaly or a hint at a problem of some kind.

I think this has to do with not enough under age players in the database right now. I think this is being looked at. Or their draft eligibility incorrectly entered.

Is this starting from a 2015/2016 game?
