On Rule 5 day, you'll see 500 prospects on the "Rule 5 Prospect" page. That page will not be available until the R5 freeze.

And you need to leave a spot open on your 40 man roster, otherwise you won't be able to draft anyone. JUs tmake sure your top prospects who are rule 5 eligible are on your 40 man before lockdown day

Also make sure you have enough salary room to sign a rule 5 guy. You need at least 327 k plus the 50 k fee, so make sure you have room for 377 k.

The players will be on your roster for the entire season, so make sure he either fills a need or you can eat that roster spot. Unless you have a real big rebuild project, drafting more than 2 Rule 5ers will waste more budget than trying to run them through waivers later to keep them will be worth.
