can we make edits to our roster page on here now since we are using the google sheet for the official team info?

Yup - use that page however you want.

What happened to prospects who've surpassed 40 games? I see a bunch on rosters. Do they become free agents?

They can stay on a minor league roster as long as the team wants to keep them there.

Once called up to the NHL Roster, they can't be sent back down.

After the year they hit 40 GP their prospect clock starts.  The contract converts from P-n/a to a P contract with an expiration year 2 years after the year they hit 40GP.  So, if you have a prospect that hits 40 this season, his contract would change from P-n/a to P-22/23.  After the 22/23 season you would either extend him with a prospect discount or as a normal extension.

To be more accurate with Fantrax since that is our roster keeper.  The after 40 games played players contract should show as "2nd"

Yes, good call.  On Fantrax you'll see them as:

1st = P-n/a
2nd = P-21/22
3rd = P-20/21

So on fantrax I get 3 roster alerts on my team page for having players in my minors that aren't elligible (thomas, Batherson and Jokiharju). Now if I don't call them up am I going to have issues with my roster when the games start to be played? I know our league rules say they can stay down but just wondering if fantrax won't like that with how the league is setup On there now.

I'll leave it to Snug to confirm - but that should be just fine.  It better be, since I have 11 alerts...

I have Minor League enforcement set to NONE

None
The system will not enforce any minor league restriction, meaning that players who are no longer minor leaguers can be kept in the Minors roster slot for as long as the owner wants. Violations however will still be shown in the Team --> Roster Violations screen, which is also displayed for all other options.

Fantrax should allow a move to the IR for any player that Fantrax has marked as injured, right?

It won't let me move Seguin to the IR and I can't figure out why not.  He's marked as injured and I have one available IR slot, but that slot is not highlighted as an option when I select Seguin for a roster move.

Or is that an admin-only function?
