Any player previously drafted in the now defunct entry draft will be a FA at the end of this season. Makes sense to just get rid of this at some point, so if you've got a guy who you think might make the NHL next year and you want to keep him you must activate him before the close of the season.
Also, according to the CBA...if a player drafted from the rookie draft plays 41 NHL games, he either needs to be brought up to the regular lineup or be released to free agency status.
Hey sorry guys I ****ed up my dates, but that will probably benefit you guys this season. Nik Backstrom round 5. yuck.

just a suggestion, another keeper league on this board has a function where you can "stash" a player(s). I'm not sure yet exactly how it works but that might be something for us to consider transitioning from the entry draft.
FWIW, I also really like the "utility" player option.
I'm only brining it up because if we were going to make any changes or minor tweaks to the league I suppose now would be the best time to do it.
I read about that. It's kinda similar to our farm team. I personally find the whole notion quite stupid actually. Either have a farm team or dont.
Who's the best "utility" position player in the NHL?
The reason fantasy baseball has a utility position is to account for the DH. Hockey has no such thing.
It's obviously not for a rover, although Byfuglien is the best utility player, and I rode Brent Burns and his utility position to a title last year.
It's more about using more of your bench obviously.
If we want to talk about useless stuff, PIM's should be done away with. More often than not they're a bad thing in games, but having lots in fantasy is a good thing.
that's why it's fantasy.
Don't forget to set your lineups tonight. Only one game. Our season is upon us.
BrockH, 94Eleven, and Son of a Dawson did not set their lineups.
Commishing is going to be a pain in the ars (lol) if I have to get on people to set their lineups.
BrockH of all people should know that I already got my pee pee wacked in the other pool we're in for not dressing all my active guys on a sunday.
Guess, I'm going to have to read the CBA and see what the repercussions for this are.
Ya, I know. In my defense, I also admitted that I'm forgetful about it. My lineup's set through week's end now.
Pretty sure the CBA is open to interpretation on the issue. Basically if you think someone's forgetting lineups to the point where it's impacting the league or having a detrimental effect, you can punish or replace them as you see fit. Going from memory on that so feel free to double check.
So what you're saying is I'm a ***** commish? Lol.
So uh, KeslerKrony hasn't been active since before I left for Europe.
Also of note: I enjoyed my Eurotrip this year from August 23-September 14.
