CPU teams can offer contracts to prospects. You still hold the rights until 21. You can offer a contract to your prospect that is signed with a cpu team at any time, and he'll join your team at the start of the next season.
 
Human managers can't offer contracts to prospects they don't have rights to.

OK I was wrong... LIHL to IHL is just double in cap so is only times 2.  However a base salary is 25k in LIHL and 50k in IHL.
 
as 69k is already above the IHL base... it will be times 1.25 like you had said

Curious, has this thread worked for anyone?

Rainsilent, Fangowolf, and Wendel Clark, thank you for all of your input. I've made a few changes now. I had no idea players would get exhausted, I was only monitoring that for goalies.
I signed a defenseman, but he won't show up till tomorrow. In the meantime, I scratched the most tired defenseman and put in a serviceable guy from the minors (although his skating is still garbage) but it will work to get the guy back healthy.
 
I'm also going to spread out the icetime a bit more and put 4 forwards on the pp and hopefully that will guard against fatigue. 
I'll come back to this thread with any updates or questions.
Thanks again for all of your help

So the primary issues are that your checking line only has 1 decent checking type player and you have no two way defenders. Never mind the role that you set for your players. Basically you got players trying to do things that they aren't good at doing. Also all of your defensemen are defensive defensemen. You can set them to match line but stay at home would likely be best for most if not all of them. Only one of your forwards makes for a suitable player on a checking line so scrap the checking line for a two way line and adjust players as necessary.
 
Finally team tactics wise set it to what you want it to be. The players will develop into the tactics that you choose. Just know that it may take time to do. Also you don't necessarily need a 7th defender however seeing as how most of your defenders have relatively low endurance ratings if you find your defenders getting tired a lot it may be an option worth exploring. That said only playing 1 on each PP would almost do the same thing as it will actively cut down the amount of time on ice the defenders are getting and that alone may be enough.

70% scoring is probably way too much. Checking line is very difficult to get to work, and you only have 10% two-way line. Depending on what kind of players you have in your two-way line(s), two-way line is a good option for both preventing opponent goals (with defensive skilled players) and scoring some of your own (with offensive skilled players). You probably should either use some of your current players in two-way line(s) with more ice-time and/or get some more suitable players for this purpose. Every two-way line players should have decent DEF ability. I personally like them to have a green bar in two-way role even if they play playmaker/sniper/powerforward, if possible. I would try to balance the lines with 40-60% scoring and 40-60% two-way(/energy/checking) focuses.
 
You also might want to consider changing your defensive tactic. My advice would be to consider between spread, conservative trap and aggressive forecheck, depending on how you want to emphasize what your current players are good at, what kind of game you want to play and build the team that way and what kind of tactics your opponents use. All these tactics are quite good against three different offense tactics and have only one obvious weakness each.
 
Player should always fit into a role you want him to play. It does not necessarily need to be his best role bar (if it is, great), but preferably green bar nonetheless. Then the individual roles should fit into the line, so that the line has a good mix of different roles. And finally different lines should form a balanced whole.

1) Your defenders can't skate.  All the defensive tactics except cons trap need some mobility.
2) You are at least one Defender short.  Your Defrenders should be getting tired.  I play 7 def with one only playing Spec teams (PP usually)
3) Way too many snipers. A few should change roles
4) Goalies are under performing for their stats (still wondering about Defenders Endurance)
 
If one of the defensive lines is set to an Offensive tactic, I doubt they have the skates to get back against good lines.  It looks like you are probably crushing the lower teams and being crushed by the top tier.
 
The guys should only hit tired a few times a season.  For now set your Defenders training to easy.  If you have any money get another defender or two.
Just checked you have some guys exhausted on def
On your roster hit the info tab and look at the last column.
