Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (Season 8) - Draft set for Oct 6 at 12PM CT (now accepting new managers)

[Guerzy]

Agree with all your points, Duke.

 

[Basalt13]

Out of you're 3 points Duke I only understand one of them and disagree with it. Player Values shouldn't be the Same Goalies>Forwards>Defense with the biggest gap between Goalies and forwards. PIMs helps Defense imo.

As for you're other points who has suggested moving keepers from 7 (which its 8 right now anyway) to 2?

 

[Duke749]

Not sure why I thought it was 7. Dropping it down one or two keepers might be fine but I don't feel like we should adjust it to benefit new players.

I'm not big on PIMs either just because it's a bit of a negative stat. But if we do add it I would like to possibly see Hits added, with a very low point total of course.

 

[Guerzy]

I'm sure we could alter the points system, but it should be noted that the points were set up last season (by Jet Bomber) so that forwards, defenceman and goalies all contributed on a relatively equal and level playing field. Though, obviously defenceman would be a bit lower given they dont accumulate as many points as forwards, for example.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

If we get 7 people voting for an increase in goal value to 1.5, then I'll switch it. That looks like 2 (Juzmo and Basalt) so far.

I don't like this proposal at all. It diminishes the importance of defensemen even more. So my vote is for no, but again, if there's 7 votes then majority rules.

I'm thinking 0.025 per hit and per PIM.

I agree with the bolded, but ideally you want to tighten up the gaps a bit. As far as the keeper numbers, 8 keepers is what was agreed upon a while back, the only reason I'm considering going back on it is because of the expansion teams, it's not exactly fair that they get stuck with rubbish.

Then again, I'm still waiting on 3 managers to renew their registration, so there might not be any need for any expansion after all...*hint hint*

I vote NO. That's a huge increase.

Something small like that.

Tightening it up is more what I meant.

Bolded

 

[ATHF]

Hank, it's cool that I'm going to renew my registration as soon as I am back to civilization on Monday morning? I can't access my email until I am back home...(lame browser and horrible network connection on my phone)...

EDIT: Of course as soon as I complain I can actually log in and register...all good here!

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Did I inherit the best team from last season? I feel like I'm Charles Wang about to drive a once proud team straight into the ground.

 

[Juzmo]

Would also be ok with some points from penalty minutes.

Edit. When thinking about it more... maybe not increase the goals (maybe to 1.10 just because), but would really want defencemen to get more from blocked shots (at least +0.05, would like +0.10) and goalies getting more from shutouts (since they are pretty rare anyway)

Edit. 4 moves per week please.

 

[Teemu VIII]

Not in favor of making many (if any) changes since my team was more or less designed specifically to fit the current format.

Small bump for hits / PIM would be fine by me, I guess. Much else? No thanks.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Bump.

Just a reminder that the draft is on October 6th at 7 pm, make sure to have your keepers finalized before then.

Edit. 4 moves per week please.

Sounds good, done.

 

[wpgsilver]

Anyone think we should wait for a resolution to the lockout?
I'm just thinking it would suck to draft a player and then they tear an ACL in Switzerland.

EDIT: Someone wanna PM the league details, I had it saved somewhere and can't find it.

 

[Lux Aurumque*]

I'm down if there are spots left.

 

[Basalt13]

I'm down if there are spots left.

You know what, you can have my spot if you want.

The draft was changed again to a time when I can't make it, and I don't like the scoring system set up the way it is.

 

[Teemu VIII]

Did I inherit the best team from last season? I feel like I'm Charles Wang about to drive a once proud team straight into the ground.

I still feel confident that I had the best team last year.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

What draft picks are used for the keepers?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Just a reminder to select your 8 keepers before the Friday deadline.

EDIT: I've updated the scoring system. 0.1 points per hit and 0.05 points per PIM.

 

[Juzmo]

I still feel confident that I had the best team last year.

NOPE! ...well, maybe.

 

[Duke749]

Just a heads up, I won't make it. Although, I'm not too concerned with the draft considering we don't know when the season will start.

 

[Duke749]

Btw, what's the draft order? I should be picking 2nd.

1. Capt Mal's Fireflies
2. Atlanta Jets
3. Pat Falloon Allstars
4. Quebec Pizza
