Top prospects being released by teams

This has been happening for a couple of years and seems to still be an issue. Started my first FHM11 game and in 2027 there are several top prospects as UFAs because they were released by their teams.

That looks like it may be an issue with players loaned by NHL teams back to junior not getting returned to the NHL team properly (so, not the same thing as the linked report, where the players weren't being signed at all.) The error's happening sometime before the current season, since the AI won't normally send a contracted player back for an overage junior season, but these guys all played as 20-year-olds. There should be Bio entries on previous July 1 showing them being moved back to their contracted team, but they're getting stuck for some reason. We'll investigate why.

Oops, I linked to the wrong previous report. Meant this one - seems you had a similar hypothesis at the time.
