That’s a hard no from me. I understand dropping keepers to 8 with two new teams but limiting to 1 goalie out of nowhere kind of sucks.

My immediate reaction is I like the format @jprenkert is suggesting. Someone tell me what's wrong with it before I start liking it too much.

Because I’ll lose Carey Price
wouldn’t have traded for him if he was going to be a rental...
If you think about, with everyone keeping 1 goalie, allows us to use 8 keepers on position players. So in a sense we can keep up to 11 position players(8 NHL, 3 prospects) plus a goalie, instead of up to 10 players (7 position guys plus 3 prospects, including goalie.
Im sure everyone has to make adjustments with who they want to keep after adding the new teams. Part of expansion lol

yeah, but it allows me to keep everyone I want

Cant we trade at the moment? I'm sure someone will be willing to trade for a better keeper goalie. I get the mentality.

the whole gripe of mine in the first place was we didn't know about expansion until after the season thus people making trades that puts them in bad spots.
We also changed the keepers from 10 to 8, and no one is gripping about that. I dont understand the gripe of that, but when it comes to keeping only 1 goalie, which we can only play one each day, its a huge issue. People were really going to keep 4 goalies and less position players?

I absolutely did gripe about that only for the fact that I constructed my team thinking it was still 10 keepers. That's in the past though since it seems the new rules will stay.
Keep it at 8 players including goalies. That way people who want to keep more than one goalie have the option to at the expense of a skater. Everyone wins.
Wouldn’t we still have the option to keep goalies at the players expense if we did 1 goalie keeper? this works better for you if that’s the case. One extra spot
Based on what they were saying, it was 1 keeper goalie max. Unless I’m mistaken.
What was the original agreement anyways? 8 keepers + 2 goalies? I’m confused now.
Originally 10 keepers plus 3 prospects(12 team). Then with the addition of 2 teams(14 teams), its 8 keepers and 3 prospects.
I have played in a league where you can only keep one goalie in a deep league like this and it works out great. Goalies end up going earlier in the draft if you need one. Everyone in that league seem to enjoy it and there's money involved. That's why i offered that up. Keeps everyone on an even playing field/parity.
Does any one remember how many goalies we can start each night? Thought it was one but could be wrong. At the very least we should keep how every many goalie spots we can roster on a given night. I think thats far and allows the new teams a shot at make a competitive team. After all this is for fun. No money involved, just pride and fun among posters of this board.

I'd prefer the 8 players (skaters and goalies) and three prospects if you still have three like we were all initially going to do. Don't like the idea of giving people another keeper when there's two new teams with none right now.
Are we going to let the new teams pick eight players and three prospects before we start the draft, or are they going to select additional players after we're all done? If we let them pick first (I think we should do that to give them a fighting chance), I think they should only have players who were available last year (no kids who were in college last year or draft eligible).

I would assume @Frk It and I get to draft before or what did I just join. I mean it is setting an off-season roster, technically everyone should be able to dump keepers for picks if they choose. We just have no option joining. But my first round pick corresponds with one of your keepers is how this traditionally works.
But I don't want to come off as telling people what to do. It just would greatly impact the seller I turn into at the deadline and how I would play building. Excited to join, you all need to make the decisions you're comfortable with.
I thought it would make sense to do something similar to the NHL expansion draft for Vegas. We still pick 10 keepers, then 2-3 of those were thrown into the expansion pot so guys were still getting keeper level guys and not behind the 8 ball. Prospects wise they would start with 0 and have to draft or pick them up over the waiver wire, unless they got lucky and found a gem available in the keeper group existing teams had to give up.

I am curious, I guess I need to go log-in and read deeper into the rules, but does Yahoo allow for really advanced prospect picks. I know I have played in a format where we had five prospects, but you could Larry Bird draft pick guys, so basically they started allowing prospects at 16, it created a pretty crazy trade scene and building environment. I would guess it doesn't allow that, but I would burn an early pick on Byfield.

yes i looked for cale makar as a prospect but couln't find him last season. I would like to have access to all drafted players, but i don't want to complain to much
Lol, obv meant Quentin. Who can keep all those brothers straight.
Season starts on Wednesday right? Maybe we should pick a draft date and see if it works for everyone. Or if we're going to have an expansion draft and slow draft, let's get it on.
