So is Dallas done negotiating with the West D + G agent (me)? Last two defencemen he has signed, I found about them via the message board.

 

[Tryamkin]

send down D Jacob Larsson

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Why can't I keep 23 consistent NHLers on my roster?

4 starters on LTIR is a challenge over here as well.

 

[Intoewsables]

SIGNING: The Vancouver Canucks have signed F Alex Kerfoot to a 2 year ELC worth $2.6 million ($1.3 million per year).

To make room for Kerfoot, the Canucks have placed F Brian Boyle on LTIR.

 

[Intoewsables]

WAIVERS: The Minnesota Wild have claimed D Mark Streit off of waivers.

Koivu Turris Jones on the trade block

All teams should be made to have a starting goalie tbh.
Vetoing trades that leave a team without a starter would help ...
Teams with 2 starters are going to be miles ahead and the teams with none are going to out tank everyone else.
End up with a middle pack of 20+ teams going nowhere fast
Easy to make provisions for injuries. Not having a starter for tanking is BS
Losing ur starter to injury all year is just bad luck. Which in normal fantasy gets rewarded with a higher pick. Wont be able to out tank teams without a starter all year on purpose.
Im shocked nobody seems to care. This entire season in this league is a waste then basically.

I have 2 'starters', but I took Elliott over the likes of Ehlers, Pastrnak and Nylander. I doubt anyone's trading me one of those guys for Elliott, so the chances of me trading him to a team without a starter are zero. I'll take my two Connor McDavid equivalent goalies and run.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Im talking about no starters.
Two starters was a gamble on those who choose them over players, knowing that will be rectified at every off season. Those teams still have the increased risk of injury running two 50+ game starters amd that evening the playing field.

 

[Wush]

places Charlie Coyle and Marcus Foligno on IR (source :

[Weylspin]

L. Sbisa on the block currently getting me too many points. 3 points in 4 games and on pace for 62 points for a cheap price. Might think this is a joke but he's getting every opportunity ever and is making the most of it, might be the best gamble anyone can make

 

[Intoewsables]

A couple of GMs have noticed weird errors with their teams on Pickuphockey (e.g. players randomly being dropped). Please check your teams periodically to make sure that everything is as it should be, so that I can fix the problems and keep the standings as accurate as possible. I'll do this every so often myself, but I may miss something when checking 31 teams at a time.

@Intoewsables

Winnipeg activates Jesper Fast from IR.

Waive Wade Megan
