When I try to offer a contract to this player (Zhao Shengqing), I got a popup message simply saying "Signing not possible" but no explanation why.

This player was on my farm team, now is a free agent.

-I'm playing NHL/Standard game (Penguins)

- Under the contract screen, the "offer contract" isn't even an option in the drop down box like usual, only when I right click on his name do I get the option to "Offer Contract"

-there is nothing listed under his contract/rights section

-looking at edit screen, current team and contracted to both say free agent

-he's 24 and from Taipei

Not sure if the last one is a factor, but I have no clue why I can't even offer a contract - I've never run into this message before.
I did see a message about being able to sign certain players during certain times of the year but the popup message told me why I couldn't sign the player, but not this message.

Anyone run into this before? Thanks.

edit: I simmed part of the season and went to look and he signed with the Western Canadian league. When I sent him an offer it said I didn't have the rights to him. Then I noticed in the edit screen, all of his rights was set to "none".

I'm not sure if that was a bug or maybe I just don't understand why it says "none" for all leagues?
