Hi Everybody,
I had asked this question over at the SI Games site and only got one response which helped a bit. So, I thought I'd try my luck here and see if anyone has had the following happen to them, or has any idea what could have went wrong:
I was recently signing players at the end of 2005 to new contacts and I offered Jordin Tootoo a contract for 650k, 800k, 800k, 800k with a team option year. He accepted, but his info screen shows that the contract only runs to June 2007 and that he needs a qualifying offer at that time.
Am I missing something to do with younger player's contracts or player contacts in general? Why does it show only two years, when I offered 4? Can you only sign younger guys to contracts for 2 years at a time, and then you have to go through the qualifying offer thing again?
Issue with contracting players

Thanks guys,
It's nice to know that at least one other person has noticed this. I figured I could have made a mistake and not offered as many years as I thought I did on one or two contracts, but this happened to me on four or five! I was signing a bunch of my young AHL prospects to new contracts and I thought if I could get the guys to sign at a nice increase for them in the short term, but have them signed at that rate for 3 or 4 years, that it would be cheaper for me in the long term.
Do you think that maybe this is a built in "feature" of the game? That a player could accept the money portion of the contract, but dictate his own terms for the years, without us having a chance to say yes or no to the length?

not sure if it's true or not,but i have a little idea...
Maybe your young player just has 2 years left to be a Restricted Free Agent at the end of his contract,what means he just need a qualifying offer... and maybe he will turn into a Unrestricted Free Agent if he signs for 3+ years... And it's generally far easier to re-sign a RFA than a UFA,so maybe the board (or the computer...) force to sign those players only for the maximum years they stand RFA...
But it seems strange,really...
Don't worry to much,we're not so far away from EHM07
