EHM The Blue Line

I picked up some Free Agents just after the Fantasy Draft while still in the preseason. Based on current skills I can't see why they weren't picked up. But they all come up with 1 star when I look at trading them. I am wondering if anyone has these players and what they think. Some are so good I can't see how they can be 1 star. The number next to each player is the total of all there stats added together.

Dan Carcillo LW 350
Tim Hambly LD 322
Drew Fata RD 326
D'arcy McConvey C 352
Bryan Rodney LD 336
Scotty Balan RD 320

By comparison here are some NHL'ers

Andrew Ference 328
Ossi Vaananen 340
Daniel Sedin 350
Steve Montador 304
Ales Kotalik 364

To explain why they are one star, it is to stop people buying free agents and trading them the next day. IIRC they will have more stars (if appropriate) 3 months after signing. That was definitely true for EHM2005, so if that has changed someone will correct me.

I was looking to keep these guys but I can see why the computer would have to do that. Although if someones roster is full you would think they wouldn't trade for more players unless it was heavily in thier favor.
