Well, even weirder:

After having the player for an unexpected extra season, I STILL HAVE HIM IN THE SQUAD:

He got decent stats for last season, but for this one, he so far doesn't score, but has 3 assists in 4 games.

Can't complain, I got the player for two more seasons then initially expected and he is now above 400 goals for the team
