Historical expansion ??

OK,
I cross Historical expansion at the years they really happend , BUT
what will be the difference of crossing in HOLD EXPANSION DRAFT and not doing this.

Getting this to be correct historical is of course nearly impossible since trading and stuff will affect this in the years prior to the expansion.

Still I wonder what will be the different in putting a X in Hold expansion draft and not.

Any takers ???

If you don't have an expansion draft, then when new teams come in, they won't have any players. Unless of course you fill them with fictional players.

There's also a chance they'll sign FA's, but likely won't get enough players to fill out a roster unless you have a lot of FA's in the pool.

So actually one MUST have ticked in both boxes or none....

I was thinking in the directions of addding historical players instead of having amateurs draft. I don´t have any amateur draft, but get the new historical players added to the correct teams they made their ML debut in.

However I understand that historically teams might protect different players so an expansion draft is a must, based on the "free" players.
