Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (Season 8) - Draft set for Oct 6 at 12PM CT (now accepting new managers)

[Hammer Slammer]

I was sure I had saved keepers, and now I can't see if there's a place to change them.

Hammer Slammer: Patrik Laine, Blake Wheeler, Johnny Gaudreau and Martin Jones

Team Niku keepers are correct.

What about traded draft picks from last season to this season, are those going to be honored?

I was supposed to have 2 first round picks and 4 third round picks this year.

Also, sorry for being aggressive earlier in regards to the draft, on paper if it wasn't going to be corrected I'm sure you can understand the frustration.

Assuming this all gets corrected and we get some more active teams - this will hopefully make the league a bit more entertaining this year.

Possible that a number of those blank teams didn't have their keepers saved, but I also know a few that have been dormant for at least a season. So for any managers that are interested, please PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite.

New draft date and time is set for Saturday, October 6 at noon CST.

I'm down, I'll PM you now

 

[Rheged]

Looks like my keepers saved correctly!

Also I know Mooseknuckles is Grind and he doesn't even know the account that ones associated with any more so that could definitely be a team for someone else if they want.

 

[DashingDane]

It's a Process keepers should be: Auston Matthews, Kyle Connor, Sebastian Aho and William Nylander. All of my old team is still there so I don't know if it has registered...

No apology necessary, I would’ve been pissed as well.

And the traded picks have saved. I’ll update that in another post. EDIT: See below. You have Inflict's pick in round 1 and 3, as well as Koylio and the Macs pick in round 3.

Lazy cut and paste job of the number of picks by round, based on traded picks:

See previous page. Yours have been saved.

Opps....thanks

 

[cheswick]

I'm Voyageurs.

Keepers: Crosby, Keith, Seguin, JVR

 

[grgftrs]

Any chance of just dropping some teams if they are not responding? We do have a LOT of teams, it wouldn't hurt to reduce the number of teams as it gets to be pretty slim pickings for players as we get deeper into the draft.

I couldn't even find 2 players worth keeping on the team I inherited. My goodness.

Or at least free up those teams keepers if they haven't responded. I think its okay to keep the teams as hopefully next season will be able to replace them but free up some high end talent if those inactive teams have them.

That reminds me of my first year after inheriting a team lol.

Right now there are four teams that haven't listed any keepers:

Wpgsilver
Moose Knuckles
Capt. Mal's Fireflies
Atlanta Jets

I'll leave any future plans for kxx or whoever wants to take the reigns of commissioner. I'll still be part of this league as an owner, but someone new can take over as commish.

I think dropping teams is probably the solution going forward. 20 team leagues are so much fun when you've got 20 active managers, but it loses its appeal when nearly half the teams go dark.

Can someone fill me in a bit on matchup?

1. Do I have to set the lineup for an entire week at a time?
2. Do I choose which players matchup against which other player?

Lineups are weekly, and you can set them in advance.

Thanks. Is it player vs player or lineup vs lineup

Lineup vs lineup.

Ah and Quick to the IR early in the season. Where have I seen this before?

 

[Rheged]

I thought it would be starting this week, (yesterday) is that not right?

EDIT: Wow, I didn't realize how long the first week was on Yahoo. So to confirm, our season scoring starts on Monday, October 15.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Also a heads-up to everyone that @kxx (Cupertino Macs) has taken over from me as league commish. A big thank you to him for agreeing to take this on. @kxx trust me it's not a big job during the season, only real headache is setting it up pre-draft.

You can PM him if you're not in the league and interested in taking over a team. Currently four fun rebuild projects still available!

 

[kxx]

Thanks Hank !

anyone interested in taking over a team PM or reply to this thread and will do my best to accommodate - as Hank mentioned have 4 teams to take over.

Even if you don't want one this season will be checking this thread periodically to see who is interested for next season. The Yahoo platform makes it super easy and requires minimal commitment during the season (weekly lineups).

Currently have 16 mostly active managers/teams so its pretty fun and competitive.

Any other questions from those interested feel free to reply on here or PM I'll be checking regularly. Cheers!

 

[buggs]

Can I take over another team and trade with myself?

Just kidding.

Thanks kxx for taking over the reigns. Much appreciation to Hank for his past work.
