Question: Vegas has 3 extra MiLR players. If we have roster space (3 or more spots) on our Active and reserve roster, can we keep the prospects up in those spots?

If you have the Active/Reserve roster space, FNHL will allow you to carry the extras in 2019-20.
Starting in 2020-21, FNHL will make it a rule that MiLR Max 30/30 is the max OR we might raise the max to 35 MiLR spots - PENDING.

When is the schedule published for 20 offseason activities? Does it mirror NHL?

I usually get that schedule up during the pre-season but a little behind this yr.
Will be up by mid-Dec or much sooner.

Seems PPG has already finished and posted the 2020 offseason deadlines

You’re a MACHINE!

I am looking for a clarification on Milr. If a player has 82 games played at the start of our playoffs, he would still be eligible for minors until the next season? I understand that once they reach 83 games, then they would become a FA. If this happens after our playoffs start, then the player would become a fa after 1 game played in 2020-21. I'd like this written in the rules, otherwise new GM's wouldn't understand how it works in this scenario.

That's a new date we put into place as a result of the Supplemental Draft.
So yes, plan your roster space accordingly and make sure you're team has the needed space to welcome back injured players otherwise, they'll get released on Buyout terms, same for MiLR prospects that need to be called up after 82 games though the MiLR prospects if they're close to 82 games and haven't surpassed 82 by the end of FNHL's regular season they can pass over to 2018-19 to be promoted.

Probably a really dumb question but how we go about finding players that are available to pick in the SDP?

You basically research and when you find a prospect you want to draft in the Supplemental, you verify on Fantrax whether the player is available.

Halo99 is correct.

A few owners PM'ed about whether the non-playoff teams could be allowing to trade and make transactions.

The short answer is NO - the restrictions apply across the board until we know what's going to happen to the NHL which directly impacts our FNHL playoffs.

Also, extensions are allowed right now but with Buyouts prohibited and all teams having fixed cap space since the transaction freeze went into effect, allowing some teams to clear cap would be unfair to the playoff teams -so we will maintain the current transaction freeze for all FNHL teams.
