Prospect Activation

Hey guys, now that the ratings are out, we can release the prospect activation list. After much deliberation over the years, we have decided that the following will now be the ruling for prospects being activated:

18-19 Years Old: 82 NHL games must be played to be automatically activated.
20+ Years Old: 41 NHL games must be played to be automatically activated.
Goalies: 20 NHL games must be played to be automatically activated.  Age is not a factor for goalies.

Each year, we will activate the prospects automatically in the off-season, so have no fear with guys suddenly appearing on your lineup mid-season.  If you do not wish to keep a player on this list on your roster, you can release his rights and he will become a UFA.  Please let Dylan know if you wish to go this route.

Also keep in mind that if you wish to activate a prospect before he hits these games played limits, you can, as long as he has a rating in the system.

Below is the list that will be activated this year. Italicized players are 18-19 years old.
