Historic Expansion Rules Not Applied
 

I am playing a historic game, and I just lost 5 players in the 1992 NHL expansion draft, which is confusing and frusterating. The official rules as per NHL.com are:

It is hard to strategize for the expansion draft when it doesn't follow the historic rules, and the rules aren't visible in the game.

Why aren't the rules being followed? How can I find the rules for the 1993 in game draft so I don't get screwed again?

I have run this expansion draft a handful of times now to see if it's just my team losing so many players.

The following teams all lost over 2 players

• CGY
• MTL
• NYI
• NJ

And several teams had no players selected:

• CHI
• DET
• NYR
• PIT
• QUE
• WSH

I asked about this in reference to the 1991 Dispersal and Expansion drafts and Jeff indicated he would fix it - see link below. However after the last update I asked if it had been fixed and didn't get a response.

I ended up using the AI evaluations of the unprotected players to manually simulate the draft by moving players between teams post draft using the player edit function - not optimal, but better than perverting the real life rules.

I'm currently simulating the 91-92 season, so I'd very much like to see this fixed.

Thanks for the response. I too just spent 40 minutes manually re-doing the draft. The historical record will show incorrectly, but at least my team, New Jersey and Montreal weren't decimated.

Even if Jeff could fix this, I bet it'd be for new games only.

It was changed to 1 for the 1991 expansion draft in the update. I'll change it to 2 for the 92 expansion.

Please make sure you update the 93 draft as well.

I did.
