I just created a league on ESPN fantasy, we are currently sitting at 10 teams. Need 12! There will be compensation for winner and 2nd place, maybe division winners too, still tinkering.

I just completed my first season of fantasy football and it was a blast, hoping I get enough takers for hockey now. If you’re interested, let me know!

I just created a league on ESPN fantasy, I can make it up to 20 teams, currently at 12. I’m thinking a $50 buy-in but open to ideas if that’s too steep or too shallow - money due at the end of the season. There will be compensation for winner and 2nd place, maybe division winners too, still tinkering.

Sure...why not. I may not win, but my team will have 100% home attendance and no stadium issues.

 

[RABBIT]

Haha nice Mig! I’ll let you know if we get enough players. I think the minimum is 4. Hoping for more though lol

 

[Jagged Ice]

I would probably be up for it. My preference would be a Yahoo league though.

 

[lanky]

Love fantasy hockey. Count me in.

I've always found it a hassle to get friends signed up and committed. I'll leave it to you this year.

Never done yahoo before. Are there any significant differences?

Haha! I've never done ESPN so I don't know.

All good! I can check out Yahoo. I already created the league in the ESPN app but it’s not too late to migrate. I think the ESPN app is really user friendly so if you’re still down for ESPN if Yahoo doesn’t work let me know we’d love to have you!

@Jagged Ice @MIGs Dog @lanky so i created a league in ESPN and Yahoo just in case (so I can get the ball rolling.)

I’m taking votes (hopefully more people will want to join and we can get more input before the draft this weekend) on which platform we would like to use. We can convert it to a cash prize league in either one. I would prefer cash prize but taking votes on that as well. I’m thinking a 50 buy-in.

We can do a buy in on Yahoo but it requires I make a payment to Yahoo up front, and Yahoo would distribute the funds to the winner automatically. Or we can do private money pool, where we all pay in at seasons end (or in the beginning) and we distribute the funds ourselves.

Let me know how y’all wanna roll!

I don't have experience with either platform, so don't have a preference. I'm ok with $50, but you might get more participation with a lower amount.

Updated in OP

BUY-IN price is negotiable, but would like to keep it around 50. If you're thinking about joining but dont want to do 50, please comment or message so i can gauge

 

[MIGs Dog]

I'm in baaaby!

 

[RABBIT]

We’ve got 6 players so far. Anyone else down? Trying to get to 12

 

[MIGs Dog]

It's interesting that goalies earn the most pts for wins, and not some other metric like S% or GAA. Don't think I can draft Kuemper. . Remember a couple of seasons ago when Domingue had that long win streak with TBL because the tm averaged like 5 gls every time he took the ice. Drafting goalies is more about predicting which teams will win the most games.

 

[lanky]

Bump. Let's get up to 12 teams.

If $30 buy-in makes the difference instead of $50, then I'mnfine with that.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I'm in and I'm fine with $50

Anyone have a good site for funds distributions? I found this LeagueSafe, I created the link: Pay your $50.00 fantasy league dues for Goals In Different Area Codes now!

but if anyone has any better ideas on how we would want to collect/distribute money so that everyone feels safe, let me know!

 

[Tad Mikowski]

I just joined. Im more of a fantasy football guy now but i started fantasy on hockey so it'll be a ton of fun! Im down for $50 or $30

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

First to pay...is that worth anything?

I think 1st to pay should get the #1 Draft spot.

When I click the link it says my fee is $48. What gives?

I adjusted it from 50 to 48 so that you don’t get charged over $50 (there’s a processing fee to use their service.)

we already had a little bit of concern over the $50 buy-in, so I didn’t want people to be charged $52
