Custom League Draft Oddity

wiggleman83 · 12-08-2021, 11:27 PM

I started a custom league and, first off, I tried to not have a draft in certain leagues but there were drafts anyway despite not junior leagues attached to them. Also, the top league, which has junior leagues attached to it, had players drafted who were free agents and playing in other major leagues and minor leagues which I found odd.

Plus, one of the other major leagues has its own junior league attached to it but it drafted from different junior leagues

There's no way to turn entry drafts off for custom leagues at the moment. I'm not sure why the leagues are drafting from the unconnected league, though; I'll have to take a closer look at that.

If it helps, I started with an NHL+AHL+CHL game and all the other leagues took from the CHL junior leagues

Interestingly enough, the next central scouting futures list only included juniors players, none from the other leagues

Hi, just curious if there an update on this

Now that I think about it, it makes sense that the NHL league can draft from other top leagues as the NHL does with the KHL, SHL etc. but it doesn't make sense that it can draft from a minor league that it's attached to like the AHL

This issue seems to have resolved itself as all teams only took from junior leagues attached to their league in the 2nd draft
