Historical game July 1968.

The Historical Notes state that the NHL minimum draft age changed to 19, but at the entry draft on July 3rd 1968 teams are still selecting 17 and 18 year-olds.

Darryl Sittler and Gilbert Perreault are both only 17 and are selected 1 & 2.

Note : I'm still controlling a WHL team at this point, the NHL is totally AI run. The NHL has minimum contract age of 20, which appears to be working correctly. The WHL has minimum contract age 18, and 17 for the entry draft.
