I've mentioned this to the OOTP guys a couple of times, but I need to log a formal feature request with them so that it doesn't just get lost in the forums. It's on my list of things to raise in addition to the import rule and the playoff structures for the three leagues. It'll then be up to the devs what to implement and what not to implement for version 1. As I mentioned in my first post in this thread:

In my view, there are two really key things missing which greatly affect the league's realism (ignoring complex features which couldn't feasibly make it into version 1 - such as cup tournaments):

1) The 2 week notice system used by all levels of league. At present, the UK leagues are using the standard transfer system. In reality, teams can release players by giving 2 weeks' notice (equally, a player can leave with 2 weeks' notice) without having to pay any contractual compensation. Teams only sign players as free agents (the transfer system isn't used).

2) The import rule. At present, we have the no foreigner rule. This isn't too far off, but I'd like to see an additional setting for this rule which counts players without a primary UK nationality as foreigners (even if they have a UK second nationality). This is probably a decent compromise considering that we'd never realistically see an IIHF card system in game.
