CLE folded at the end of the 77 season. Going into the 78/79 season the players are not in the FA pool and there is no dispersal draft scheduled on the play menu. You do a search for players, such as CLE Ron Stackhouse, D, he shows up as a listed in free agent search but does not show up in in the free agent pool, same as his CLE hockey teammates. In sum, No CLE players are in the pool. With strange combinations of clicks, the CLE team shows up sometimes in the upcoming FAS tab, but not always on July 2,

FYI, I turned off the WHA and have been manually moving teams to the right conferences and divisions with a new schedule each year. No problems there.

So, why are the CLE players not in a dispersal draft or a free agency pool? I know the real history and it was somewhat complex in how the players where distributed. I didn't expect the same process in the game. I expected maybe FA process or a dispersal draft not a complete disappearance of the players.

Is this bug or something else going on?
