just checking....do we need to promote prospects now or can we wait and see if they get a card and what it looks like (Dylan Crews)

Historically we have always had to make promotion decisions before the cards come out.

What happens is if you wait till the cards come out you will already be at 40 players after free agency and not have a spot on your roster. You can promote a prospect any time you have roster space so you could promote them during free agency if you wanted but not after you've signed your 40th player. The next opportunity would be between seasons 1 & 2

Knights:

Dropping Javier Assad
Promoting Tyler Soderstrom and Jared Jones

Paul Long:

cuts: Wade Miley, Kyle Hendricks

Prospect promotions: Colton Cowser, Dylan Crews, Colton Keith, Henry Davis

Prospect Release (rules state that I must cut or promote as it's been 3 years...if this is wrong then just keep him as a prospect for now): Will Bednar

If I'm wrong about the 3 year thing for prospects and we don't have to cut/promote the 2022 drafted group then I want to retain Davis and Bednar as prospects.

If I do have to make that decision now, then promote Davis and release Bednar.

thanks,

Paul

You are right about the cut or promote prospect rule after 3 seasons of “holding” the prospect.
