I thought I answered it, sorry. There are no fake stand-ins for college prospects. I know the Penguins have several college players on their THN Yearbook top 10 prospect list that aren't in the game (Bennett, Samuelsson, Velischek, etc). Any team that likes to draft US college players will be in the same boat, unfortunately. We'll have to make them ourselves... or at least pester MattG to get his Ultimate Rosters out!
He's in and he still looks like Amanda Bynes.
I'm pretty sure the scouting screen is similar if not identical to 10 -- it shows all the player ratings with color-coded numbers depending on how certain you scout is about a particular rating or a question mark if it is unknown. I'm not certain, but I don't think you can see stats from the scouting menus.
The player rights apply to players in any of the European leagues in NHL11 and the CHL, so a player must be on the roster of a team in one of those leagues to be in the game (aside from the handful of prominent non-NHL players on national teams... Jagr, Morozov, etc).
As for "Olive", if memory serves he played on a Swedish second division team, and if so, he wouldn't be on the initial roster (I don't know for sure). I'll tell you what, using my amazing creative powers, I'll personally make you a CAP for him so you can start your BAGM. If I had no job, wife, or kid, I'd be right there with Matt making kick-*** rosters & CAPs.

Do they offer the option to play a reduced schedule (i.e. 29 games)? The mode sounds awesome, but I hate simming games & I don't have time to play through 82 so I'd never get through a season

Unfortunately, no, seasons are restricted to 82 games in GM mode. I made a personal pitch to the appropriate people for shorter schedule options while at the community event in May.
That's all for now and I'll be away from the computer all morning. I'll try to get the ones I skipped later, although I think several of them fall into the "I don't know" category at this time.
