Doing draft #4 on Saturday. 16 teams 10 keepers.





I would have picked a better team for an example. :sarcasm:

Who will be better for your team? Kadri, Galchenyuk, Stoll, or Antropov.

The obscure picks are what makes the draft fun.

IT's closer to 17 second average.

Lots of guys will be ready in 1-3 seconds.

BY the time it gets slow guys will have set up autopick and left.

How does the autopick work? You basically just set a ranking for every player and once it's your pick, the system will choose the highest ranking available player? Would it be possible for a team to end up with only like 5 dmen by doing that?..or it there a fail-safe for that.

I would go for the players that I know will be in the NHL for sure. So not Kadri and Galchenyuk.

But I'm new to fantasy stuff so I could be very wrong in this case :laugh:

If you guys want a comparable, one of the leagues I'm in (head-to-head, with 16 teams as well) has the rules set at this:

Positions:
2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 2 UTIL, 2G, 6BN, 2IR

Scoring:
G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, GWG, W, GAA, saves, sv%

30 acquisitions max for the season (1 per week in the playoffs) with 8 teams making the playoffs.

Overall, the top league has been running for 4 or 5 years now, whereas the second highest league (promotion/relegation style) has been up for 2 or 3. Works damn well.

It is basically your list.

If you don't have one made or yours runs out it will pick from Yahoo's list.

And you don't want that. :shakehead

From what I remember they give you Highest ranked. You could end up with 10 centers and 2 Dmen. You'd have to deal with it yourself.

Better off with list. atleast you get a good player even if hes wrong position.

Uh oh....Looks like I have to learn what utility players mean now too....

It's just another slot you can put a player into. If you have 3 centres playing one night but only have two "centre" slots, you throw the third into a utility spot.

Anything could happen. Stoll and Antro atleast get TIO, but maybe NK gets traded to Vancouver and plays with the Sedins.

Crazy **** can happen. BUt safer is usually better.

How is it different from bench?

Or are utility players apart of your roster?

Think of it as a sixth skater on the ice. You have your three forwards and two defensemen... and then you have your utility guy which can be either a forward or defense.

Dion explains it best down there vvvv
