I have this issue as well. I'm in Commissioner Mode, creating fictional teams and importing historical players at the end of each year. Age 16 or 17. Expectation is that they are drafted in coming year or the following year at the latest.

I'd like to see how teams draft and develop and how these players perform against one another over time.

But when Newsy Lalonde and Gordie Howe by age 24 still are free agents or are toiling in the minors (100+ points in 70 games, no less) something is wrong with the game.

I went back and made sure they are assigned to "None" teams (instead of "Free" agents), and that did not change anything. Out of desperation I even assigned the rights for Howe to a lousy team and he got a 2 year contract but never played a game. Something is seriously wrong.
