OT: HFWings Keeper Fantasy Hockey League: Season One

[PullHard]

@Sards @aar000n please prioritize adding prospect eligible players before NHL veterans

If teams don't have prospects by end of week I will use commissioner powers to spank your bums

 

[PullHard]

Victor Mete, Sam Steel, Filip Hronek, Joey Anderson, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Robert Thomas, Tage Thompson, Evan Bouchard, Jordan Kyrou, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Kristian Vesalainen, Urho Vaakanainen, Ty Smith

There's 14 prospects and I just scrubbed through for like 5-10 minutes, lets go guys

I don't really like the NA slots moving forward beyond this season

My thought with the prospect aspect is that it benefits the manager a lot to have a guy playing in the NHL and is potentially a hindrance (depending on team direction) to have a guy still in junior.

Like right now @19 for president has potentially "reached" on Pettersson Tkachuk and svechnikov when s/he could have gone with veteran NHLers who will likely have a better stat line by season's end and taken 3 non NHLers and stashed them in NA slots .

It wasn't my intention with the prospect rule when I suggested it but I'm curious what others think moving forward

You can look at it the other way though. Maybe he drafted for future success instead of immediate help?

If we are stashing players in NA slots, you can be both competitive now and have future success (depending on the players being stashed) seeing as you are essentially carrying 3 extra players

Yeah I didn't realize NA slots were a thing when drafting. So with 12 teams and huge rosters, boy is the waiver wire a boneyard in this league, haha.

 

[Hammettf2b]

I just added 3 players but they don't seem to be showing up on my team. hmmmm...

Usually makes for interesting mid level trades.

Seems they aren't actually available until tomorrow.

ahhhh ok. thanks

 

[Sparty]

Yeah I'm just starting to understand the prospects thing better. I guess you're better off with players who aren't in the league yet. I drafted Lias Anderson thinking it would be a bonus to have him because he's already in the league, but now I know I can have a (marginally) better player on my roster and a prospect who's not in the league in an NA slot.

 

[Bench]

That's true. Speaking of, I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my defenders. To the point I think if another team is struggling there, they should hit me up with an offer.

Burns
Pietrangelo
Ristolainen
OEL
Provorov
Lindell
Hanifin

 

[raymond23]

Sorry, I will add prospects tonight!

 

[Frk It]

Sorry I didn’t respond @Eternal Sunshine, this looks like it would have been fun.

Good luck everyone.

(Who let @19 for president get those 3!?)

 

[Bench]

(Who let @19 for president get those 3!?)

I think most of us felt like this immediately after the draft.

 

[aar000n]

Im happy with my draft

 

[Bench]

That's the fantasy kiss of death, A-a Ron.

Victor Mete, Sam Steel, Filip Hronek, Joey Anderson, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Robert Thomas, Tage Thompson, Evan Bouchard, Jordan Kyrou, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Kristian Vesalainen, Urho Vaakanainen, Ty Smith

Someone take Rob Thomas.

You get a good young player AND the use of Matchbox Twenty memes.

No brainer move...

 

[19 for president]

I went semi rebuildy might bite me in the long run we'll see!

I mean the fun thing about dynasty is if it all goes to hell, next year you get to draft the #1 stud. So much better than when it's a one off season that goes off the rails and there's nothing to cling to.

Ah shoot didn't realize the add restrictions and f***ed up my goalie situation for the week

Also not sure if you added Donato just cuz or if you thought he is prospect eligible, but he is 2 drafts removed from being eligible (2014)

 

[PullHard]

What do people think about 10 keepers (full blown NHLers) and then carrying 3 prospects (either being kept like say Bench keeping Boqvist) and/ or drafting them

so like Bench carries 11 players into the draft, 10 NHLers + boqvist and is done a round earlier than say my team who looks to have all 3 prospects play 50 games this season , so I have to draft all 3 prospects in the draft next fall

Is 10 a good number? Less? More would be not as good IMO, it becomes a bit too stalled in terms of teams continuing to be good or bad potentially, curious to hear what others think

 

[turkleton85]

i don't know, but yeah 10 seems to be a good number.

I did. Whoops

 

[PullHard]

@Perfect Human you still playing? should we move forward with a new owner?
