(Franchise Mode) Broken NHL Entry Draft Glitch/Bug

I’m playing Franchise Mode on Xbox Series X. It is June 5th in my current save file. The final Stanley Cup game was just played, and it is already displaying the words "Entry Draft" under my schedule. Additionally, I have no option to Sim to Draft Day like I usually would after the playoffs have ended. If I go to Assign Scouts and check their scouting progress, I find that every prospect shows up as a hidden "???" despite being fully scouted since the scouting period began in September. Furthermore, when I manually skip to draft day, the prompt to partake in the NHL Entry Draft is unavailable. When I go to the calendar to try and initiate the NHL Entry Draft, I am met with the option to "Sim Game" or "Cancel". If I "Sim Game", the draft is not simmed, but rather skipped entirely; this is evident by going to "View Contracts" and sorting players in the system by age, and reveals no prospects have been drafted at all this year by any team. 

Obviously this is a critical bug that is game-breaking. Please consult the media provided for more info.

    ive had the same glitch just switch to ahl and then the draft will appear something else does happen though after the draft when you advance to the resign phase you are able to access the free agency menu you are then able to sign everyone's contract who is expiring or any prospects in the draft that were drafted by a team since they are unsigned you are able to sign them and pretty much steal them from that team I just took the top 10 draft picks and any elite medium player but if you are lucky you could probably get a franchise prospect
