I still have a ways to go before my list is all gone. There are still some top 6 guys out there. Also, we are officially over half way done with the draft!
Will we go over the prospect draft when the time comes? Because there's some unanswered questions, like if I draft Jankowski, do I hold his rights until he plays X amount of NHL games? Can I pick to-be-drafted players that I think will play next year? If my prospect gets called up, does their stats count towards my weekly match up?
Also, are we restricted to a total number of contracts? Can I make 3 for 1 trades than benefit me long term but tank short term, such as icing a 6 forward lineup this year, but have like 30 star prospects that win it for me next year?

-Drafted or prospects with an NHL team that have played 25 games or less; 25 or more and they must be on your roster or you will lose them to Free Agency.
-If you "call up" a player (you may have to drop a roster player, but this process can be debated) their stats count towards your team for however long they are up. Once they are not needed, you can "send them down" without losing their rights.
-You should always have a full roster and there should be a limit on how many prospects you are allowed to have. However much can be up for debate but however you want to build your prospect list is up to you. For example, you can trade multiple roster players for a prospect and then proceed to "Add" NHL players not taken to refill your roster.
I personally don't want too many prescriptions where GMs can't be creative. I understand that this being the first draft, players have to come out equal, but I would personally like to see it loosen up afterwards.
We could see GMs trade away all of next years picks and the year after to win it this year, and maybe we'll see someone collect and hoard as many picks as possible with hopes of winning it next year or year after. If we're all forced to trade straight-up, keep the same number of picks, and remain relatively the same, then the winning stragety is more "pick & wish for the best", with the odd tweaks here and there.
Even different rounds of selections have more or less different consequences. I would've sacrificed my all 3 of my bench spot picks this year for one more mid rounder pick. That's just me though. There's plenty of strageties and I'd like to see them all played out personally, so we know which has it's benefits and consequences.
So 2 less keepers for more picks. Seems pointless to me but whatever.
How do you figure?
Any person with access picks than actual roster spots available will be forced to waive some players, and those with too few picks to fill a full roster has to either claim waivers, play their prospects, or be forced to have a short line up and therefore won't likely win weekly match ups (tanking).
Do I got this right? It's like the first law of fantasy-dynamics, where no pick/player is created or destroyed, it simply changes teams or form.
It shouldn't affect keepers. I have 9 NHL keepers that I choose before next year's draft, and as long as there's 9 NHL players on my team, they can be kept. The remaing 16 or whatever players I have on my roster will go into the free agency pool.

Correct. If you do a 3-1 trade, you don't lose two keepers, you will just have to waive/drop some of your players on your roster.
I was thinking a prospect is a player who has played under 50 games. (as we still consider TJ Brodie a prospect) Once a player has played over 50 games, they are now considered a free agent and is free game. All in all, you would have to bring up the player to your main roster once they hit 50 games.
I agree to what GLaDOS said in his last point, which was trading for a prospect. For example, someone drafts Ryan Strome in the prospect draft. A general manager from a different team is very interested in Strome. That GM can trade a prospects+roster players for Strome.
Yeah I agree on a limited number of prospects, otherwise the first law of fantasy-dynamics couldn't apply. 5 to 10 is fine with me. Anymore and this draft will take years.

Hope that makes sense lol.
50 real games? Because 50 fantasy games (weeks) could be different
Parenteau is an interesting pick. I think his numbers were inflated playing along side Tavares, but I guess at this point those high risk/reward picks are worth taking.

I think so too but I'm hoping he can still put up a decent amount of points. His +/- worried me a bit but like you said it's a high risk/reward pick.
