NHL27 Franchise Mode Coach Bugs

Started up a franchise mode game, played through the first year and fired head coach to hire one of the 4 A+ OVR coaches only to find I could only offer a max of $60,000 to any coach.

I just assumed that they fixed the internal staffing salary to not let you go above the cap, so I fired a few other coaches, but still could not offer anything above $60,000.....

Went through a few more seasons and still no change... so basically I can never hire a proper head coach...
