Fantasy Sports: HF Flyers ??? League III (We Are Picking New Site)

[Beef Invictus]

I've got some prospects if you are interested in dealing.

I've lost every trade I've attempted. I think I'll just fire my coach and take over myself.

Cmon Beef. Cmon. Trade me your good players. You could have a shiny new Ryan Spooner.

 

[Mkoll]

Hey all, bender28 (That's What G Said) has informed me that he feels he can't keep up with the league adequately and would like to put his team up for a new GM.

Anybody reading this thread have any interest?

Are you going to adjust his lineup until a new GM is found? or would you like me to do it? (obviously not during the weeks he plays me)

 

[JVR21]

Looking to trade one or two of my top tier prospects

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'll take a look at what you have

 

[JVR21]

Still looking to trade some top prospects, notably Ryan Strome and Nick Bjugstad.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'll possibly consider it.

 

[Mkoll]

Come on Beef, you're dropping the ball this week. You have a chance to beat JVR and help DMS and I gain some ground

 

[Mkoll]

Well, that was fun. Finally got a victory after coming in 2nd every year.

Was a bit of a hollow victory though, as the other team, Dead Men, skating, wasnt even active during the championship week.

I really dont see this league surviving as only half of us were active all year. Which is a shame.

 

[Mkoll]

Finding replacements is easier said than done. We needed 3 this season and only managed to find 2.

By my count we need about 6 or 7 next season. That is going to be rough, and I cant do it on my own.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Well here's my keepers if we can keep this league going.

Anze Kopitar

[Mkoll]

If the league survives, which I do hope it does. We will switch to Yahoo.
Yahoo does not have separate "minor/prospect" slots. So we'd have to change keeper numbers around. Probably just adding an extra 10 slots so we can keep our numbers.

They do have an N/A slot which works much like DL. So, we'd probably just add 10 N/A slots. But then, it becomes an issue if a player is no longer considered N/A (after being moved up to the NHL team)..

Anyway, some discussion would need to be had, but first there is the matter of replacing the non-active managers.

 

[JVR21]

It's really a fun league if everyone participates. The first couple years were excellent but activity has definitely dropped off.

 

[SnS]

I always forgot about Fantrax. It's just not one of those sites that I typically visit, I had no problem checking my ESPN / Yahoo leagues this season. I apologize.

So you'd be more active then if we had a yahoo league? That would be one less manager we'd have to replace if so..

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah, we are gonna need to switch over to a different site; Fantrax is off the beaten path for everyone, and as commisioner...good lord, did it give me some headaches. Whether or not I'll be able to remain commissioner, or even active, remains to be seen.

 

[JVR21]

I don't see what's so bad about bookmarking the league site and setting your lineup once a week, but I'm on board with whatever will make people active.

 

[Beef Invictus]

We are going to be picking a new site. This likely means we are gonna lose the prospects section, which sucks for me because I had a couple prospects that looked like they were close to being ready

I'm going to add a poll in a bit. I think we'll be choosing between Yahoo and ESPN. My own personal preference is Yahoo but I'll put it to a vote.


Edit: And depending on how much trouble we have getting replies and such...we may have to start a fresh league. I think beyond being on Fantrax, there are also people who don't want to inherit a poor team in a Keeper league.

 

[Mkoll]

Yahoo would be my vote.

I am not sure about starting over. There are no bad teams. Any active manager can make a good team.

Half of the teams who finished at the bottom only did so because no one set lineups. I would of easily lost another 5 games if the opposing manager had been around.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

I'll happily commit if it's not on ****ing fantrax.

 

[bauer]

if you guys switch over to yahoo, and are in need of another team, let me know. i've been playing yahoo fantasy hockey for like 10 years and i'm always looking for fun, competitive leagues to join.

We'll definitely need another manager, or 5, that's a given.

 

[dingbathero]

Yahoo vote for me. Fantrax was a headache... if it was a bit user friendly I could understand it.

cool. I'd love to join. yahoo fantasy hockey is very addictive. I highly recommend it for those who haven't tried it yet. the app is pretty great too. far better than espn's.

Fantrax's app was so so brutal.
