I'm of the opinion, for what that's worth, that you should get nothing relating to your 40 man roster at this point and it simply counts as one of your pre draft drops. Giving you any player between now and the draft, even one of our cuts, is basically like giving you the 1st pick in the draft, and that is not fair to the rest of us.
Now that doesn't mean you shouldn't be compensated for the mistake. It just means that compenstaion should be not related to the draft or the 40 man roster at all as it screws with the integrity of the upcoming draft.
What I'd suggest, and I've done this as the commisioner of the 2 keeper leagues I run, when similar mistakes have happened, is 1 of 2 things:
No. 1 - Award a supplemental Prospect pick used at the end of the prospect draft, even it it puts you over the prospect limit.
OR
No. 2 - Allow a 1 time prospect roster exzemption for any 1 prospect that you may have to cut if his time limit is up on the prospect roster. In other words, if you've had a prospect for 2 years and would need to either cut or promote him, and he isn't a guy you really want to promote, you'd get a 1 year waiver and be allowed to keep him as a prospect for a 3rd year.
Those are my suggestions. YMMV and I'll abide but anything the league decides, especially now that the painful draft lottery is gone. :D
