Free players?

Has anyone else been seeing players willing to sign for... nothing?
I am in the beginning of an NHL fantasy draft game(2006/10/4), with no salary cap. I also used the max. finances for all teams option. Anyway, I noticed that Boris Valabik, 20, has a 1 year, $0/year contract. I ignored it thinking it was something to do with his young age or whatever. But just now, I saw I am $20million under my team budget so I decided to fill the gap I have at center. Unrestricted free agent Jason Allison looked good, so I went to offer him a contract expecting to see something like five to six million dollars per year. What I got was:
Jason Allison expects a part-time(?) contract with a salary of $0 until June 2008.
Any reason why a big name player like this is A) asking for a part-time contract, and B) asking for no wage?
I have yet to play my first game of year one, so it's not like he's Chelios-old, or washed up.

when your staff called him...

Bad news update:
I decided to try to sign him anyway, but keeping it realistic by giving him what he deserves(despite him wanting nothing). Nothing was available in the drop down menu, so I had to manually click him up to the right amount. I'm clicking, I'm clicking... then, it stops... at $450,000. I am being forced to sign a veteran 1st or 2nd line center for no more than an entry level contract.
Real-time update(I'm playing as I type): It now gets worse... I just decided to give-up on Allison rather than cheating to have him. Leetch is listed as a free agent also, and I could use some strengthening there anyway. I enter to sign him...... he too wants no wage.

Maybe something is screwed up in your database?
This isn't happening for me...

Well, I
am using the unfaking DB... so I guess I can't rule that out as a possible cause.
That's really disappointing, too... I've put so much into this game - 50 rounds of fantasy drafting, and I really like my team.

I am pretty sure I saw it mentioned as a bug at the SI site.
It happens when playing without a salary cap, and is on the fix-list for the patch.

Would you happen to know if that includes any cap
changes, or is it just
no cap that causes it?

It's the "no cap" only.

Where can I find the option to turn the cap off?
Merry Christmas to you all, btw

Goto:
(main EHM folder)/data/database
... and then open the transfer_rules_config file.
When you're there, you can turn off a league's cap by either deleting the entry, or by setting the cap number to zero.

Yes, it's a bug.
To get around it just make the salary cap insanely high.
