I don't understand how this is possible? I play as the Buffalo Sabres. It's a fictional league but everything is set up as the same as the NHL (basically, I just wanted the NHL with fictional players).

In the draft, I have found that some of my players that are in the minor league but then re-enter the draft and then I need to re-draft them the next year. Is that possible?

Look at the history below and the two examples. You can see the players are signed by the minor league team but then are subsequently drafted. For example, Lindgren is signed by the Buffalo Sabres minor league team, the Rochester Americans. He signs a contract on June 13th. Then he enters the draft on June 28th and I have to sign him to the Sabres.

Are players in the minor league team able to enter the draft? I thought if they are in a minor league team, they were already drafted by the NHL team. Am I looking at this correctly?
