Updated things for various players. Also added Florida Everblades as affilatie for STL/SPR. Thanks Mikko for the report!

Increased PA used by the limtier from 119 to 139.

Sent Kuzy back to SKA, thanks bigbruhman for the report!

General Updates:
- Latest notable transactions and contract extensions for playable leagues
- Implemented new attribute standards based on researcher consensus and applied them database wide except for players over 100 CA and NHL floor PA players. I removed a majority of pre-set attributes, allowing the game to randomize them on start to allow more variation to players based on role. Expect a lot more randomness new game to new game.
-- I am looking for feedback here, good or bad, especially for lower-level league or European focused players!
- Any players with no player-type set have had all attributes set to 0.
- Cleaned up free agent players

Prospect Generator Updates -- thanks ImActuallyAnOtter!!
- In the last release, about 30% players had no physical attributes set. Physical attributes have now been set for all players
- Updated model for anticipation, creativity and decisions implemented as a beta for this issue
- Expect significant changes to be coming to the PG based on Community Poll feedback, these will be included in the next issue

Finnish Updates:
- Tightened up Liiga and Mestis schedules in February/March to move playoffs forward three days to prevent Relegation Playoffs from rolling over past the May 1st cutoff date. This may need further adjusting after more testing. -- Thanks Thomaxius for the report!!

- Near-complete overhaul of the Prospect Generator
GENERAL:
Across the PG, the level of potential ability has been increased to match recent drafts but the quality of players has been much more heavily randomized.
It will be significantly more difficult to find good goaltending due to the added randomization
It will be significantly more difficult to find players that correlate to existing Pivot attributes due to the added randomization
The long-term distribution of current ability will much closer match Pivot 2-4 years into a given save rather than what you see on Pivot day 1.

MENTAL/HIDDEN ATTRIBUTES:
The PG now generates ~50% of its players with random attributes, so they will look like "game regens" as opposed to prospect generated players designed to look like Pivot Day 1 players. The other 50% remain the same as the last issue, but with some minor changes only.
Determination has been lowered by an average of 5-7 points on a 20-point scale across the board.
Consistency and Important Matches have been lowered by 2-4 points on a 20-point scale across the board.
Loyalty, Fighting, Pass Tendency and Versatility are now fully randomized for all players, in addition to injury proneness and natural fitness which have been for some time.
Significant Updates to defensive role and offensive role based on recent research. Expect to see offensive role remain similar and defensive role to drop compared to priors.
Despite increased ability distribution, reduced goalie hiddens/mentals means you should expect average save percentages to drop to the 0.890-0.900 range to match IRL.

VISIBLE ATTRIBUTES:
Goalie Glove and Blocker attributes should be increased at generation
With the ~50% randomization, expect to find far less goalies with balanced attributes

ROLE DISTRIBUTION:
More balanced distribution of player roles
Expect to see some "archetypes" such as "High Physicals", "High Mentals", "PK Specialist", "PP Specialist" and "PIM Gatherer", which are introduced in this version

International Updates:
- Added Euro Hockey Tour and World Cup back in with some fixes. World Cup will go in 2024 with Olympics in 2026, should get a best on best with NHLers international tournament every 2 years.
- Updates WJC-U20 players/staff

NHL Updates:
- NHL Re-rates starting in January, nothing completed yet in this release, looking for help via fan feedback!
- Updates to several 2025/2026 notables

Canadian Updates:
- Updated several clubs/competition names and colors -- thanks Dani9!!
- Changed Junior Preference of CHL league contracted, NHL unsigned players to None from Major Junior. This should allow these players to also have the option of not extending with their junior team and potentially transferring to the NCAA or other College leagues. I have also set all CHL league contracts to 1.2.1900 which should default most to one year to allow these transfers.
-- While there is no guarantee this will work, its a good enough workaround until there is proper game code added to support the CHL -> NCAA transfer rules.
-- Any IRL player that has submitted for a transfer will have their preference set to College as I find them.

Czechia Updates:
- Added/Updates clubs and updated Czech Maxa liga and Czech 2. Liga structures -- thanks Matee!!

Germany:
- Adjusted PA ranges of IRL 13-15 y/o German players -- thanks kev26!

Russian Updates:
