Oh, I've seen it many times taking 34-37 or so players into ST. But if you read my OP, I'm referring to the implications of running a "clean slate" or No Service time league. With everyone basically starting as rookies and consequently retaining all of their option years, it seems the AI is very reluctant to utilize any of those its first season. At least that appears to be the logic. Maybe you have some other ideas that would account for its avoidance - as a whole (not a single exception) - to move anyone into ST this inaugural season.
