But then I noticed that as I went to look at the submitted protection rosters, the OOTP 21 default was "Auto-protect Players with less than 3 Pro Service Years" and for OOTP 23, the default was at 4 years so a whole swath of additional players got protected in OOTP 23. So, thinking that was it, I redid the OOTP 23 expansion draft with the change to 3 years.... 19 players appeared...
I looked at Nigel Wilson to see what else could be wrong and in OOTP 21 he shows as having 4 years of Service Time and in OOTP 23 he shows 0. So, that's the database error, I'd reckon OOTP isn't pulling the correct Service Time Years number and absent the field being populated correctly in the "Total Pro Service Years" line (seen in the player editor), it defaults to zero. I spot checked of several players from OOTP 21's expansion draft class and their mirror selves in OOTP 23 to confirm this. OOTP23 players are missing this field and it is defaulting to 0, hence they are auto-protected.

Great find! Now if only the developers can see this and fix that change.
Because it doesn't appear to be something easy to do manually
P.S. I also wonder why not all the teams were filling their protection lists..that doesn't seem like something I was seeing in prior versions of the game.
