The Everything NHL Thread

[CaptainKishimoto]

I'm starting to think we should actually have a full season go by first where none of the 12 people decide to go inactive (otherwise it would suck ass if we did keepers =[).

 

[Jackal]

well tentative list right now looks like what exactly

1) Jackal
2) Synre
3) Carl
4) makiri
5) aldaron
6) Captain Kush
7) WER
8) Justin####
9) gr33n
10) Vineon

as for sure players... we need two more. Not sure status on Psycho or Eraddd or if there is anyone we think would be better.

 

[Synre]

Sub priority definitely goes to Gouki and pookar if we need them/choose to switch to Pokemon of different types, both have expressed interest

 

[Gouki]

[Eraddd]

If you guys have room for one more, I'm interested, and I'm sorry for ditching you guys half way through the season. I just felt ticked off that I kept losing :(

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Ya I'd be pissed as well if I benched Kopitar when he was on fire.

 

[Morm]

I might be down for this.

What the hell is chicago thinking??

 

[Flamestrike]

If there somehow ends up being an empty spot I'm willing to join for fantasy.

As am I.

I'd definitely give priority to users active in #smogon.

I'd definitely give priority to users active in #smogon.

100% with Vin on this one

 

[Chill Murray]

and me, of course. right?

also, i'm voting for keeper league

Define "active"

 

[Vineon]

Define "active"

Active in the #smogon chatroom.

It insures the core group of fantasy players knows him well and makes him easy to contact.

For instance, I've known pookar for years and do not know you. Difficult to guess how active a fantasy player you would be and if you could stay motivated the entire year.

If I were to pick, it would be an easy one.

 

[CaptainKishimoto]

Plus it'd be easier to discuss stuff rather than checking this thread constantly.

 

[Synre]

So I was loooking at puck daddy and... http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/pu...ckey-The-Top-100-players-for-2?urn=nhl-265228

i check my baseball pools every day, so once I see that fantasy hockey signups have opened i will create the league asap. We can decide on a date once we figure out who is actually playing and what works for everyone.

the keeper question will forever be there, and I am kind of starting to think it would in fact be a good idea, say 3 keepers.

HEY

Start the league ok!!!






Personally I am in favor of 3+ keeper/12 owners or 0 keeper/14 owners, btw. Preferably with an auction rather than a draft either way(particularly in the keeper case). But I am open to anything.



EDIT: also i bothered to actually read the yahoo top 100 this year and wow it's like the corey perry pre-draft ranking from last year had babies

 

[Carl]

yeah i already checked the fantasy hockey site today at work and sent jackal a renewal notice xD

something else to consider.. they added hits and blocks as stat categories this year.. are we interested in either or both of those? and at the cost of another stat or in addition? i know vin has always thought goalies had way too much influence and these are some more skater stats to add to lessen the impact.. ones that benefit certain types of players not always used in fantasy, too. something ESPECIALLY to consider if we move to a 14 person league and depth becomes a bigger factor.

 

[Vineon]

Would like either of those new stats.

I'd feel fine with 7 skater for 3 goalie stats but should one skater stat be removed, I'd prefer getting rid of +/-.

I personally dont like the auction option. There are people that know how to auction and others that don't. It would suck to ruin your season that way. It's very possible to also suck during the draft but I feel people are mostly all equally used to the format.

Just personal preferences, I'd rally with whatever is decided at the end without a problem.

 

[Chill Murray]

Including both hits and blocks would be a good idea, I think, especially if we move up to 14 people. Then I'll actually get to draft some Islanders! ^_^

Also, I'd be happy with a 3 keeper league with 12 or 14 players, either works. If we move to a keeper league I'd like it to start with this season (i.e. a clean slate).

edit: just saw the divisions hahaha

 

[Jackal]

the league is up and running, the core 10 should have an email invite. We will work on who the last two spots should go to.

also every setting in that league is subject to change, so dont get panties in a bun yet. Ideally we have a poll for everything.

and yes, im pretty good at creating division names

 

[OrbitingDeath]

With the auction function in Yahoo, I think keepers isnt even that needed, it's actually fun to be able to do this yearly.

More fun than 'who gets Ovechkin' sweepstakes with a random order.

You are just afraid you bid 20 % of your budget on Mike Brodeur

 

[Morm]

martin brodeur??

 

[Chill Murray]

No, Mike.

Also, I would prefer to not do an auction, but I'm cool with whatever happens.
