OT: HFWings Keeper Fantasy Hockey League: Season Two

[Bench]

Anyone know why Vilardi isn't an "NA" player even though he's in the AHL currently? @Bench, can you change him to NA? Thanks!

Not confident that's within commish control. Yahoo handles designations like that. I might have time to dig into it this evening for you, though.

@Ricelund I had a quick look at the settings and I can't really find anything to edit regarding player status. But you're right, he should absolutely have NA status.

Your best bet might actually be trying to e-mail Yahoo fantasy support? I know they also have a Reddit account, as I've seen someone on their support team post some answers to questions in the fantasy hockey subreddit.

IN THE MEANTIME - I think we could make a league rule that you'd be allowed to drop him (so you can make roster moves) and that we will not allow anyone else to pick him up. Just don't fill up your additional NA spot and when he gets the tag you can add him again. That work for you?

NOBODY PICK UP VILARDI! Doing so will be punishable by death. Or like... I'll just drop him from your roster again.

@Winger98 How funny would it have been if I had traded for Bernier to have him go immediately on IR? Thank god I dragged my feet on that one.

Cool, I will contact Yahoo. Thanks for the exception!

If you want to still deal for Bernier I can throw in a second Wings goalie for a minimal cost.

And then come crawling back when Craig Anderson remains stuck behind Marcus Hogberg (who I could also trade you...) and Calvin Pickard nets you three points in four starts. I'll be waiting. I'm always waiting.

Seriously. Folks on the bubble of the playoffs are just asking to not make it with their refusal to pursue upgrades. Come on people.

Carrying six goalies and bemoaning the fact that nobody wants to trade for any of the guys you just picked up off the waiver wire, I like it.

Hey, I drafted Bonino. I think.

Kuznetsov is on the block

Update from the good folks at Yahoo:

Thank you for contacting Yahoo Sports. This is Bigcat from Buffalo, and I understand you are inquiring about Gabriel Vilardi not having NA status.

We have brought this player to the attention of our product team to have his designation reviewed. We do not have an estimated time frame of when a change could be applied to Vilardi's status.

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me! Have a good day, and pleasant playing! Thank you for choosing Yahoo Fantasy Sports!

Thanks,

Bigcat

If he was really the Bigcat he would have just handled that

Morgan Rielly out 8 weeks. I guess he will be my tdl acquisition lol

Suddenly Holland doesn't sound like such a madman, eh?

Genuine LOL. But it's cool they actually did give a real response.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

See if this stays up...

But makes me wonder if this Bigcat is one of the admins here that goes by that city name and oed at the end...

Don't expect an answer in that case.

So Malkin has basically been so good that I'm disappointed when he doesn't score 20 fantasy points a game. "Aww, 10 points? OK, whatever, hope he breaks out of this slump."

 

[Winger98]

hell, @Bench I might give you a pick to take Howard off my hands.

Shit. I should have known to pick up every single Islander on waivers this week.

 

[Winger98]

****. I should have known to pick up every single Islander on waivers this week.

circle February 21st. That is the next week to grab an Islander.

Your strategy of playing goalies against Carolina last year was brilliant. I'm thinking this year's 4D chess play is grabbing skaters against the Wings.

Yeah, I only had to get my teeth kicked in for three or four weeks in a row before I caught on to it, too.

btw, Brock Nelson grabbed over 13 points tonight. stock up against the Wings.

 

[raymond23]

Would like to trade for a starting goalie asap

Continuing the Gallant talk here...
I'm a little worried my workhorse point producers Marchessault and Theodore will suffer with a new coach. Theodore in particular has been killing it lately and is now in the top 75 of our league. I don't want some new guy messing that up.
