2017-18 NHL Fantasy Dynasty League
Discussion Thread

[FIELDSET="Links"][/FIELDSET]

This is a brand new league that I am setting up to replace LT's game last year.

I plan to cap this league at 20 teams in order to accommodate my plans for the upcoming seasons. The intention of this game is to construct a 23-man roster and run with it. I hope that roster moves will be done mainly during the off-season and any in-season moves will be due to players on slumps, players sent down sent down, or players injured. (In other words, this league will NOT require you to be crazy active throughout the season)​

  • GMs are expected to PM the commissioner(me) a proxy list if they think they will not be here at the time of their pick. Proxy list are encouraged regardless, just in-case something comes up and you can't make your pick in time. (Proxy list will not be opened until your pick).
  • If you miss your pick and fail to provide a list, this will constitute as a strike. After three strikes the respective GMs clock will be 30 minutes for the remained of the draft

I'm happy to announce that we have 20 active GMs onboard for this team!

Along with the good news, I would like to announce the draft order for the game. Attached in this post is a screenshot to the randomizer I used to determine the draft order.

Once all the remaining teams PM/notify me their NHL club, I will post and open up the draft thread for this game to officially start! The clock will not start until Monday, August 14th, but teams are free to make their selections if they are on the clock.

I'm looking forward in having a fun draft and exciting NHL season!

Thanks,
donut

Quick note,

Though I have a Roster Thread posted, it will most likely be temporary. I am slowly working on a roster thread either on Google Docs or Google Sheets. Just busy with life and stuff so I'm a bit behind with setting that up.

UPDATE: and on the PM I sent, I meant AUGUST 14th!

Happy to have gotten Holtby and Talbot back-to-back.

Considering a 30-35 goalie is worth roughly the equivalent of a 75-90 point forward (and they both had 40+ wins), I'm surprised more goalies haven't been taken yet.

Clock is off!

Solid first day of drafting everyone! Seems like a solid group of GMs who are very active.

As of now, VanIslander is up next but the clock is off so he can pick whenever he comes online.

I'm planning to change the clock, starting tomorrow, to END at 12AM PST (midnight pacific time).
