Are there no limits to hoarding goalies in this league?

None. Hoard away.

Excited to be here, hopefully I'll be a contender eventually.. the two questions I have off the bat: when people are looking to move RFAs, is there a quick way to see what it'll cost you to re-sign them? And, how do you guys view balancing current talent against young prospects? Obviously prospects are huge, just trying to gauge how much to rely on them vs a couple high end current guys mixed with the "lower end" NHL guys.

When people have RFA's on their block, most of the time they have already calculated their extension cost.  Sometimes they will post the extension cost in the trade block, but if not, it never hurts to ask if they know the cost.  But if you want to figure it out on your own, you have to head to Fantrax > Players.  Sort by position, selecting ALL players and update the results per page to 250 or so - and then find the player you're looking for (ctrl+f) to see what their rank is.  You'll need to find their rank for this year AND last year.  Whatever rank is higher is the one that counts.  Then look at the Contracts/Extensions thread in the rules, scroll down to that rank and that's the extension price.

It sounds like a pain in the a$$ - and it is - especially for me when I have to check every single extension for every single team!  heh.  But it's second nature after a while. 

Regarding strategy with high end talent vs prospects; I'm interested to hear some other opinions, but my take is that balance is best.  I haven't always followed this advice (I kinda play an all or nothing style most years), but the most consistently successful teams are very balanced.  In your case, you have to consider how long it's going to take you to become competitive.  Obviously guys like Marleau and Ryan Miller can't help you if you can't compete very soon, so they are obvious targets to unload.  Our Vancouver GM, Capn_Cally, inherited a team similar to yours.  He unloaded just about every player over the age of 25 and gained a ton of young prospects and draft picks.  Then once he established 1 or 2 consistent FP producers at each position, he unloaded all of those assets for high end talent.  He had a few mid-range prospects that exploded, and now he's got the best roster here outside of St Louis. 

Keep in mind this is a depth league.  If you load up on expensive high end players, you generally won't be able to afford solid depth.  Philly is a good example of this.  (sorry papps!)

Like I said before, take your time. This extension period goes until the end of June.  Check out some of the most successful teams (this thread has alltime DNHL ranks: http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=88465.0)  and you'll see what kind of balance these teams strike to get a good example.  Although Anaheim is in cap hell right now - he's paying for his consecutive championships...

Just to confirm before I select my keepers - we will be increasing the minors size to 15 for this season?

I should know this, but how is the draft order set for playoff teams? Lowest points in one round gets the highest pick of the teams that lost in the same round?

It goes by the standings going into that round.  So there's no re-seeding of eliminated teams, so to speak.  Here's the standings so you can see where you stand.  I will post the full draft order this week.

1) :STL-NHL:
2) :BUF-NHL:
3) :EDM:
4) :ANA:
5) :VAN:
6) :COL-NHL:
7) :LA:
8) :DET-NHL:
9) :BOS-NHL:
10) :CAR-NHL:
11) :PHI-NHL:
12) :TOR-NHL:
13) :WAS-NHL:
14) :CHI-NHL:
15) :PIT-NHL:
16) :CLG:
17) :MON-NHL:
18) :TBL:
19) :NYR:
20) :LV:
