HC-IR Fantasy Keeper League - Discussion Thread [Part V]

:

Looks like my keepers are going to be Keith, Backes, Nash, Lundqvist, Ward, Glencross and wow my team is bad.

At the risk of being uber noob-ish, what are the keeper rules? I took my team over just before the draft last season... lost Kovalchuk within a week, consarnit

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

League is going to go under a major make over. Looking into ideas now.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

First change I want to propose (aka what we're doing unless everyone hates it):

In the past we've given the Champion the first overall entry pick, 2nd place 2nd...etc. Last year we did not do an entry draft due to time restrictions. So what I want to do is combine these past two years in putting together the entry draft order based off of positions finished. However, the worse teams get the better picks.

The champion will now be given the first selection in the Regular Draft order, with 2nd place following...etc.

Here is how the Entry Draft Order will look:

Pick|Team
1st|Ottawa
2nd|Rangers
3rd|Pittsburgh
4th|Tampa Bay
5th|Los Angeles
6th|Anaheim
7th|Dallas
8th|Islanders
9th|Nashville
10th|Philadelphia
11th|Phoenix
12th|Colorado
13th|Washington
14th|Vancouver
15th|Montreal
16th|St. Louis

 

[The Instigator]

I'd say stick with NHL Entry Draft rules and have playoffs factor in to the draft rankings. Especially since you're saying the Champion gets first pick in the main draft, he should have the last pick in the entry draft.

Also I'd like to formally request a division switch.

Oh yeah, make it so I have the last pick... thanks...

Always looking for a way to screw you, Nuckles.

 

[SixthSens]

Congrats HC!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Kudos, good sir.

Hm. Interesting to say the least. I've never seen a keeper pool follow these rules. Not that I disagree, it's not a bad idea, just kind of odd.

Congrats though bro!

 

[SixthSens]

Oh and I own Dallas' 1st in the Entry Draft (Chara deal).

From a self-interest point of view, I hate the merging of the two years because I sucked so bad this year. But logistically, I suppose it makes sense.

 

[SixthSens]

My keepers right now are looking like:

Carter, Stamkos, Turris, Hamilton, Sekera, Lehner and undecided on the 7th Likely Tatar.

Carter and anyone not named above (save Hertl and Zibanejad) can be discussed. Would like to add another keeper defenseman or a goaltender.

 

[LT]

12-11 and I've got the second to last pick

Still looking to move everyone but Lindholm. Shoot me some offers.

 

[Dr Pepper]

My 7 keepers, at first glance:

Lehtonen, Thornton, Chara, Smith, Eriksson, Richards, Horton.

Subject to change, of course.

Rookies: Nichushkin, Tinordi, Schroeder, Karlsson, McNeill, Nieves, Bystrom, Pickard.

Nich wasn't drafted in our entry/prospect draft so you have to use a keeper on him.

 

[TLinden]

Keepers: Rask, Neal, Byfuglien, OEL, Voracek, Spezza, Kesler

Kesler, Spezza, and one of Buff/OEL could be moved in the right deal.

[IslesRock4]

HC and I have discussed for a while the idea of adding an 8th keeper. What are everyone's thoughts?

I can barely find 7 keepers, please don't make me find an 8th
