Unless something is changed I plan to use this strategy as well. However, I believe that Dave in Atlanta has come up with his annual good idea. We should make it mandatory that prospects must be brought in to the league after a certain point. He said 3 years, but I think the number could be anywhere from 3-5 years. The point is it is not in the best interest for the league to have young players out of the league.

If we are going to come up with limits on prospects, I don't think X amount of NHL games should be the deciding factor. I would be in favor of something along the lines of 3 years after playing in a professional league. If we're going to have a system in place, I don't think it wise to allow kids playing professional hockey to be able to sit on a prospect list strictly because they haven't hit the NHL yet.
Just my opinion though.

Gorbs, I totally agree with you. I think three years is absolutely the maximum. NHL teams, if the player comes from the Junior route, have two years to sign the player otherwise he can re-enter the draft or become a free agent. College players have until their college careers come to a close before they officially have to sign or become free agents.
For us, three years is in between that. Yes, it would change up how players are drafted. But it all depends how technical the board wants to get with this, really.
Now, I think the safest bet is, if the board were to allow it, would be two years of pro, or by age 23, the player must be signed. No matter what, there's going to be issues revolving around certain players. But there's no reason that if a player has played three years of pro, no matter what league it is in the world, that they shouldn't be activated or turned over to free agency in our league.
