Expansion Team Affiliates

Adam Oates · 10-02-2018, 12:01 AM

I started a regular game, removed one team from the NHL (Arizona), then added two expansion teams.

One of the expansion teams was given new affiliates, but the other has none. I've tried both leaving and removing Arizona's affiliates from their respective leagues.

Also, there is a blank team at the top of each minor league after doing this. They have no team information. Maybe this is supposed to be connected to the new expansion team, but didn't get created correctly?

I don't know if this is a bug or not. Just trying to make it work.

Thanks.

Doing this also makes me unable to sim past July 1 due to scheduling errors in the AHL and ECHL. I tried to generate them, but it didn't work.

While doing this I noticed that the blank teams don't show up on the edit league structure page. Hope this helps.

Yeah, it looks like it's that nameless second AHL team that's the problem (as well as a similar ECHL team that's presumably also the farm of expansion team #2). There's the shell of a team there with no data (so no affiliation), but if you try to e.g. edit in a name, it's causing a crash when it's saved. Must be something odd with mixing and matching the structure edits and the old expansion system. We'll get that fixed.
