Can't sign player in Juniors to a NHL contract

I have a plyer, Bickle, who has a junior's contract.
I want to offer him a NHL contract but can't - saying he's still on a junior contract.
I must sign him by the end of the month.
I'm using Custom - NHL/AHL, and have build 132.

I'm pretty sure you have to wait a few more weeks before that window opens. Create a separate save and move forward to around June 23rd and I believe you'll be able to, or at least check if you can.

No, it was a bug in earlier versions that was setting the transfer relationship between some junior and top-level leagues incorrectly. It's fixed now, but I don't think it's retroactive to games started when it still existed, so the player won't be signable until he becomes too old for junior (or the junior team releases him for some reason.)
