Hmm, okay, I started a new History mode game and have a problem:

I strted in 1973 so I could take over the Scouts when the NHL expands. Just for the heck of it I took the Houston Aeros for '73-74 and kicked a little buttocks before moving on to the big time in '74-75. I became GM of the Scouts, did the expansion drft and the regular draft and had a mediocre season, which was expected. I set myself up with two good 1st rnd picks in '75-76 so when that draft rolled around and was blank I was bummed. What happened? Did I do something wrong? Or did I misinterpret that this was fixed?

I am so very bummed. I had really begun to get into this game and this keeps killing my enthusiasm.

EDIT: as an aside, the is the ONLY aspect of the game that is critically missing for me. Players develop and the franchises can be managed at many different level. The one thing missing in history mode is a consistent draft.
