NHL 23 Missing Players?

same for Jachym Kondelik and Yaroslav Askarov in Nashville organization

Askarov played in the KHL last year. He won’t be added until he finally plays an AHL/NHL game. EA does not have the rights to KHL players 

Askarov was already sign in AHL game roster as reserve goalie, hope they will add prospects asap, not like in NHL 22...

Wow this is a lot of players already!! EA please read this and get this updated please!!

@EA_Aljoany news about upcoming roster update? Please take notes of these missing players, mentioned up in the conversation.

Thx for support.

Its every year the same process. Minimum one NHL game or the AHL Rookies need to sign a kind of waiver form till they could be added. The AHL Rookies who played some AHL games at the end of last Season did it with a PTO ( professional try out ) so not legit to add. For example, Brisson, Helleson and many others. New added black screen Player without a headshot Image are no fun. Expect a good Roster update not before mid, end of November.

Hello, @Vejt777 

I don't have any details on upcoming roster updates. Normally, they are announced on our official channels.

As far as missing players go, that is normally due to not having their licensing rights.

@EA_Aljo 

Every year there is a thread about missing players and every year you gave the same answer. I know that you are totally right on license on some players, but each year there is also situations that prove that issue is not only about license but player who are missing because someone seems to forgert their existance. Take Kaiden Ghule and Ryker Evans. Both player are drafted and signed by their pro teams (MTL and SEA). Both player were in the game in the WHL last years. Both players were know to turn pro this year. But with the first roster in the game this year Guhle is in the WHL and Evans is missing. There is plenty of others exemples. This is not a license missing before their first nhl game this just slopiness on building the roster at launch. Xhekaj and Mysak both sign by MTL and in the OHL in the game last year. Both players know to turn pro this year. But in the roster we have at launch Mysak is in the OHL and Xhekaj is missing. 

BTW thanks for the good job in forum, I know is should not be easy ! 

@Superblink09 

We can't add players to their NHL teams until they play their first NHL shift. I'll try to find out the status of these 2 players.

@EA_Aljo
Yes I know. But Guhle is not on is NHL team is on is WHL team so he is not missing from the game. Players like Xhekaj or Evans are just missing. At launch the CHL roster is from last season, so with this logic they should be in the launch roster like Guhle. Its not just the two player I use in exemple there is more players missing that should be there in the CHL at launch. Its frustrating for player who play offline franchise because yes we know that player comming from NCAA and KHL wont be in the game before at least the first roster update but there is no excuse for player who were already in the game last year in the CHL or the AHL especially when some player are there and other are not (talking about players in the same situation) it really prove that is not a license thing for these players. Another exemple is Gianni Fairbrother who play in the AHL (Laval) last years and he is still in the AHL this year but he is missing from the game. This is not a license thing because he should be in the AHL with Laval plain and simple but he is not. This is the point of this post, people who play offline dont care that player are not directly with their NHL team they just want the players to be in the game because after that in franchise mode we can move up the player in the NHL or AHL.
