The mod team has reviewed the past season and we are going ahead with a few changes. These changes are intended to help clarify/simplify some of the rules while balancing the ability for GMs to build rosters. We wanted to get these to you now, prior to any serious trade discussions, and before keepers are declared.
Fair play rules No IR players can be placed on the starting roster/dressed. IR players are those denoted by the red flag with white cross, aka “Swiss flag”. Prospects/minor league eligible players, those denoted by a green flag, cannot be dressed.
Injured Reserve IR will be increased to 4 positions. Maximum 2 goalies on IR.
Games played The minimum games played will bump up from 1250 to 1300.
Goaltender limits Maximum of 3 goalies on your NHL squad. This matches the rule in our other leagues. There will be no limitations for minor league goaltenders.
Prospects Increase the prospect roster from 15 to 18. As this is a deep draft, the increase will be implemented as part of this upcoming draft, using existing picks. No supplemental picks/rounds will be added.

To clarify
You are still required to have two goalies dressed, but may also have one on the bench and potentially two on IR.
…and 18 in the minors

Does fantrax have an IR+ option like yahoo? With that option, you can place any injured player on IR.
The most frustrating injuries are those guys that are out for weeks or even months, but never are officially placed on IR.

Fantrax is a bit more binary:
We have traditionally not wanted IR to be used for any injured players as it would quickly turn into a way to basically stream players. We wanted to stick with truly IR guys, as we have tried to mimic the NHL as much as possible. It is annoying having long term injured guys late in the season when the NHL teams seem to not bother with IR however the alternative would be ugly for the mods to police.
