I have a suggestion that everyone has 1 roster page that has their roster, prospects, and draft picks on it. It simplifies everything and makes it easier for organization, looking at assets, and also helps the commish.

Completely agree.
I also think that all GM's should list the draft year for their prospects.
As of now, all prospects that have a draft year of 2010 (2009 for goalies) or earlier are not in fact prospects, but are roster players.
I listed them this way on Poolexpert, so it would helpful for trading if everyone listed them this way on their roster pages.

I guess it depends what you mean...
You can call the player a 'prospect', but they can no longer be protected as a 'prospect' in our league. So calling them a prospect on your roster could be misleading to someone. (especially new people) So, I would prefer people not call them prospects.
There is no harm in removing them from your prospect list and having them on your bench, since during the season there is no limit to the number of players you can have on the bench. Come July 1st, you'll have to trim your roster down to 8 on the bench. But by moving your 2010 prospects up right now, you'll give yourself (and everyone else) a clearer picture of exactly where you're at.
Plus I've seen several trades happen where a guy THOUGHT he was getting a "prospect", but it was in fact an expired prospect who should have been on the bench. So then that GM had to either cut him, or cut someone else. That sucks, which is why listing your roster accurately is important.
If all else fails, check Pool Expert. I've listed all 2010 prospect forwards and 2009 goalies as roster players. I can't list the draft year there, so that's up to you.
While I'm at it, I might as well explain the rules, just in case people are confused by them (they're a little misleading). The rules state:
What this means: You can protect a skater 3 times (3 summers) after you draft him. You draft him in 2010 He's unused for 2010-11 season. You protect him in the summer of 2011. He's unused for 2011-12 season. You protect him in the summer of 2012. He's unused for 2012-13 season. You protect him in the summer of 2013. Doesn't matter if he's used in your lineup or not for the 2013-14 season... In the summer of 2014 you can not protect him, so you must cut him or make room for him.
That is why after the July 1st, 2013 cuts, all 2010 drafted skaters are essentially roster players. It doesn't matter what you do with them, they can not be protected any more. They're just like any other bench player.

aren't they prospects until next year's cut deadline? Just to make it a bit more clear, your 2010 prospects needs to be promoted BEFORE your 2014 July 1st cuts. So unless you're looking to put some confusion in another GM's head while trying to trade some of 2010 prospects , there is no need to listed them as prospects. On another note, thanks Molson for the Poolexpert job! Nice to have all players listed, including all prospects. The fact that it'll be no longer drafted prospects listed in FA in pooexpert will help us in our search for the weekly FA wire.
