I started a custom fictional league. 32 teams in each league: Majors, Minors and Juniors. I had the first pick in the entry draft (July 7th) after having the worst record in the first season. I went to sign this player and I can't because the game says that "This player cannot be signed because he is currently under contract in the JHL (the junior league) and the CAHL (the major league) honors JHL contracts." The player has two seasons remaining on his junior contract, which means I won't be able to sign him next season either.

In real life, the NHL team would be able to sign this player to an entry level contract. Why can't I? I don't see anything editable on July 1st to change this.
