I am not one who really pays attention to the meta here outside of the locker room and my own team's stuff but the biggest surprise I remember was Alistair Cain not being offered a contract. This was a goalie that was the top player in the league for the entire time of my first player. The league was going through a resurgence and an abundance at the Goalie position yes but Cain was great. He should have been MVP for the years he carried New Orleans on his back. He redefined the position in the post STHS to FHM era and he was out looking for a job. I couldn't believe that. Even in writing this PT I still can't believe that. That would be like Elizabeth Doyle, the GOAT goalie in the league having to find a new job after winning the McBride and the League title in the same season.
