No historical draft note/event in events?

No historical draft write-up in events? I started a new season,1969, and there was no draft in the events or anything about the players in. I did click on the draft 17 year old players so there would be a draft. I just started the season, but did not want to go through the whole process without the draft.

The Draft rounds show up on the edit page where the team page for this year and the following years, so I assume there is a draft. I even made a trade for a draft pick, but no date is present. There is The Interleague draft, but that is not the same NHL entry Draft.

I have the same issue. I've started the game with the option "Draft Rookies / Generate Rookies at Age 17" NOT checked. I've started the game in 2001 and I've just completed my first season. There was no draft listed in the events, and at the end of the year I had not participated in any draft.

At the start of the next season all the draftable players appeared as free agents, but could not be signed. I have to simulate it a few more years to see if they can finally be signed at a certain age, or if my historical league will run out of players (for no new players will enter it)...

There's no draft in the first season in historical, it's already assumed to have occurred at the start of the season. The first draft will be in July of the second season.
