i understand the appeal of both. if you're looking super realism then taking the current roster is the way to go.
but yea, for fair and fun, fantasy draft is definitely better.
I'm in. Not sure which teams are still left, so I'll just take whoever lol.
I check my Yahoo leagues daily so I'll definitely be active.

I think the league is pretty set on going with current rosters. A bunch of leg work has already been put into it to prepare current roster sheets + unsigned prospects as of today.

Note - After going through my PMs I will add GMs to the list. After work tonight I'll try to get our forum up and running.
We've decided on a bit of a hybrid. It would simply be too onerous a task to to have a full fantasy draft. So, the format will be as follows:
Each team will protect 30 players on its reserve list. After which there will be a dispersal/waiver draft. It will run 10 rounds and include any player that is not owned or draft eligible. For instance, a player like Gustavsson would be available. We will then have the NHL entry draft.
I think we've decided that we will have to ignore the minute fluctuations in cap space over the year. We will need to use the Yahoo model, as they will be hosting the game. As for the UFA thing - that's simply part of this type of game. A good GM should be able to foresee overpayment during free agency. You are always welcome trade the player in question preemptively. As a last minute solution you can simply waive the player.
The structure isn't perfect, and we will be learning as we go. We can sort out the details nearer to the regular season if there is majority support.
As I said, it's too tough to have a full 40-round fantasy draft. That would mean 700 picks need to be made and would likely take ages to complete.
I'd like to keep it to regulars. If we do find GMs to be inactive we can have them replaced.
Yeah, both methods have their benefits... thus the hybrid
There should be a lot left. Once I update the list check the 1st post.

I am interested in this. Even though I don't have the most posts, I have been coming to HF, almost daily for the past 7 or so years. No offense to newer posters, but please pick only posters who you recognize, and or who have been on here for a while if possible. I have been in too many of these, to have them only fade out after a while. Because of this I have not joined a keeper league in some time, but if we can get a committed group together, I would love to join, and I will be active. I will pick a team who is up against the cap in Philly or New York Ranger if they haven't been picked yet. (that should make it more interesting)

Pens are taken. We are using 30 players from each current roster then a 10-round waiver draft. After that a full entry draft.
I'll put you down without a team for now. PM me with your selection.
Also taken, PM me with new team selection - check 1st post.
Done.
Done.
I'm sure Star will post this at the top of the thread but anybody with a confirmed team should start thinking about what 30 players they will protect for the dispersal draft.
Once the forum is up we'll post a list of the official roster you can draw upon.

Isn't 30 kind of a lot? People will just protect their whole 23 man roster + top prospects.

We should actually have to make decisions, like only keeping 15 players.
Then you can have the original team aspect as well as a bigger draft for those who love em.

I don't think the point was to alter the core of teams with the dispersal draft. It's just a way to allow a bit of housecleaning and the drafting of some of the higher profile players in Europe.

Bah, yeah. We may need to switch to either CBS or ESPN. I know CBS is a pay service and I'm willing to absorb the cost and take up voluntary donations.
Does anyone have any experience with either CBS or ESPN? Can they support 30 teams?
CBS supports 30 teams and head to head play. It costs 179 dollars but seems like a very good setup.

Don't do that dude, 200 bucks is quite the cost to absorb. I'm already in a couple of leagues and I go halves with a buddy of mine on another.
To pay a fee I would likely pass as my wife would cut my nuts off if I continue to dish out dough for these leagues (doesn't help that I am off of work with a ruptured achilles tendon) but at the same time I am not going to have someone else pay for me.
