Custom Rosters in BAP?

I was under the assumption that whatever roster you have loaded BEFORE starting a be a pro this year, would work instead of the default. I created a bunch of players (some of my friends) to use in t...

Okay, Okay…. So Marner is with Vegas now and lets say Im a Knight fan and want to make sure Marner is on my team. I have two choices.

Start a BAP season and thru thru the worlds, CHL or Euro tourney, go thru the draft, the summer and get to Sept with a 75 rating but the cost is, Marner will not be with the Knights.. Or
Start a BAP season and begin in the NHL and select the Knights, which will ensure Marner is on the team. But at the cost of you starting out as a 68 rated player.

Is there no way to begin at the Worlds (Jan of 2025) and go thru the tourney, draft and offseason and have Marner on the Knights?

So, be a 75 rated player but with non updated rosters (default) or start in the NHL at a 68 rated player but have to struggle for a season to get to a 75?

Yup that sums it up.
But also, once you start your BAP with custom roster/updated roster the CPU is going to make moves and won't stay the same.

  The day after you start your BAP season, I get that. Why cant EA freeze all transactions while you go thru your worlds, tourney, draft, summer progression, then when the new season starts in Sept, THEN it loads your custom BAP roster? It’s like you cant have the best of both worlds..
  You either progress thru the cycle and be a higher rated player with 9 months of Traits and Xfactors, or you choose start in the NHL as an undrafted rookie and you are punished by starting off as a 68.
  Why? Why must I be penalized? Let me have fun in the worlds, the tourney, the draft, the summer, then load the selected or custom roster?

    Because during that time the season is still going on. The reason the rosters don't update is for the story line in it. I get it. I'd like to start BAP with my roster too but I can't.
    The real way they should have it is you start In September to begin. Go though training camp in the Europe or CHL team you choose. Have that be simulated to the world juniors then CHL playoffs kinda how MLB does it. Why they don't do it that way. I don't have an answer for that and I don't think we ever will.
