OT: 3rd Annual Free HFNYR Yahoo Fantasy League

[DialUp]

I'll post what works date wise at some point tomorrow.

 

[bobbop]

Definitely not implying you’re old, but is “The Old Guy” the other team? I can remove if so, I’m assuming the one with your pic is the one you want

Yes…I am the old guy but I changed my team to bobbop. That’s my keeper

At my age, a “keeper” league is almost funny

 

[Boris Zubov]

Another vote for Keeper.

Sunday nights after 9pm eastern work best for me as far as the draft in concerned.

 

[Boris Zubov]

First vote we should have is how many teams do we want. 20 was way too many, IMO. I suggest 12, but no more than 14.

Should we give @OriginalLimbo a slot, given that he was the President's Trophy winner from the year before & he's already talking trash?

We’re going to need 3 emergency contacts from you asap. This is nonnegotiable.

 

[Taluss]

OK so if we do a keepers league how are we doing the prospects? Are we going to do a prospect draft as well? At least a couple rounds of one?

Also how many players will we keep moving into the next season

 

[nyr2k2]

If we're doing a keeper with multiple drafts and all that, it probably is going to be too much for me. I mean it sounds really fun, but every layer of depth that's added makes it harder for me to commit.

(This is not to say you all shouldn't do this; I'm just letting you know I will probably drop if so, which is totally fine.)

 

[howztheglass]

I'd like back in, first year was fun but somehow missed the invite to play last year. If there's a spot open, please let me know.

I'm good with the keeper if my vote counts.

Thanks,

 

[Kupo]

Multiple drafts are too much. 1 draft keeper. If you want to invest a pick on a prospect go for it. Just my 2 cents.

No prospect draft...this is a casual fantasy league, not a full time scouting service. Let's say we draft 15 players this year, we agree each GM can keep 5 skaters & 1 goalie for next years roster. Or something to that effect. Obviously this all depends on how large the rosters are & how many teams are in the league.

I dropped out. Once everyone decides what they want to do, if there's still a spot I will consider it (assuming the offer is still on the table, which I would understand if it wasn't). This just feels like it's going to be serious than I can handle right now.

I was just throwing ideas out there to see what everyone wants. I'm personally fine with having a very chill season.

 

[DialUp]

@EdJovanovski we going to reuse the Yahoo league? Has it been reopened?

No go draft dates Sept 11, 21 through 24 through 28 through 30.

Get your ass back in here!

Tongue was firmly in cheek.

I’d be shocked if I replicated that feat. Seems my first year for this stuff is always my best. I start to think I’m smarter than I am, lol….

I would ask you please to rethink your decision. Serious is the last thing this should be. No disrespect intended toward @Taluss , but besides him I don't think any of us have multiple drafts in mind. I've never heard of a fantasy prospect draft & I would be out too in that case.

Keeper league runs exactly the same with the added element of not playing like YOLO. You have to keep an eye toward next season in as much as you can't make ridiculous trades or drop & pick up players like they're going out of style even if you're totally out of the playoff picture.

 

[Cmox]

I'm down for this again. Can't wait to lose, haha

you had a good 2nd half...I expect big things from you this year.

 

[haveandare]

Sorry, was unplugged on vacation. Would definietly like to play this year!

 

[Taluss]

So when are we thinking the draft is? I've got family here the weekend of the 23rd so preferably not then but If needed I'll figure it out

Also have we decided on a keeper or not?

 

[haveandare]

Im all for keeper, makes the draft a lot more interesting

 

[bobbop]

I’d prefer not doing a keeper League. No one deserves McDavid for life.

Prefer no more than 16 teams and need 3 injured spots

I agree with the bolded. I think we should institute a rule where you can't keep any player for more than 3 seasons.

My fantasy football league has a rule that if you keep a player past two years, you have to forfeit a first rather than their placeholder Position.

That works too.
