Simple answer, lock away the likes of Crosby, Ovi, Datsyuk, Thomas, etc (and even Gretzky, Yzerman, etc) that have similar unlock criteria as the boost packs.

Then allow those player to be bought from the store.

Or even use chemistry like they do in HUT. Then allow chemistry boosts to be bought, so that if you have a team mixed of players of different nationalities and teams, you can buy a chemistry boost to improve how their attributes work with each other.

Money can still be made, but EASHL needs an overhaul.
