Forum names are needed next to team names so I will know who I'm talking smack to.

Newbie questions - 2nd batch...
Sooo, logging into the app and seeing League info, I have a couple of additional questions.
LINEUP: I see that I have to pick at least 9 Forwards, 5 Defensemen, 2 Goalies.
1. The rest of the lineup can be whatever position? Let's say 17 forwards, 5 defensemen, 2 goalies? If I do so and any of the D or G gets injured, are there any implications?
2. What does it mean Utility (UTIL)?
3. I assume that Bench is the rest of the 9 forwards, 5 defensemen, 2 goalies not currently in the lineup for the matchup.
SCORING:
I see that when selecting players, I have to focus on their scoring ability. Especially with defensemen, who are not taken into consideration with lets say their +/- stats. Only non-scoring attributes are Hits and Blocks shots. Is that right?
LEAGUE SETTINGS:
I've noticed last season in the forum that someone (probably Mr Trash) was not able to drop Zibanejad since he was in the list of undroppable players. Now I see that this list will be applied also this season. I don't have any opinion on it yet, but might be open for discussion whether to observe this list of exclude it and give managers total freedom with their roster.
DRAFT:
I see that each manager has 90 seconds per pick. Out of curiousity - how much time should I reserve for the whole draft?
I am ranked to pick seventh. Since I'm sure I totally understood how the fantasy league works - dips on Chara in the first round!

DRAFT: I see that each manager has 90 seconds per pick. Out of curiousity - how much time should I reserve for the whole draft? I am ranked to pick seventh. Since I'm sure I totally understood how the fantasy league works - dips on Chara in the first round! lineup: your starting lineup each day will consist of the 9 f, 5 d, 2 g, and a utility player ( which can be either a f or d). there are then 7 bench spots. players on the bench do not count toward your score, so if you leave someone on the bench and they have a hat trick that night, you get to be made fun of mercilessly here. 😛 if there are injuries, there will be free agents available all season on the waiver wire. you can also attempt to trade with folks here. you also will have 1 IR spot that you can stash someone who is out for a while, which in turn allows you to gain a bench spot while they are on IR. however, to bring them back to active status you will have to drop someone. you also cannot keep someone on IR that isn't eligible (either they are on IR, LTIR, or are designated as OUT) and make other drops/adds. if you have someone on IR that does not fall under the previously listed designations, you must reactivate them by dropping someone else before you can add other players. scoring: you are correct on the scoring. points are received by skaters for goals, assists, shots, blocked shots, hits, and PIM. goalie scoring is via saves, goals against, and wins/ot wins. settings: the "cannot drop" list is still in effect, yes. that is pretty standard in all leagues and the app will update it throughout the season should players on it get hurt. I prefer it because it keeps someone from doing something dumb, like dropping a guy like McDavid cuz they got mad that they lost. also, you might inquire with the aforementioned Mr Trash on how dropping Zibanejad worked out for him last season... generally, the list is players who are the top guys in the league and you won't want to drop them anyway. however, if folks here would like that disabled, we can do that. draft: the draft will probably take an hour or so unless folks really get to dinking around with every pick. I don't think it even took 45 minutes last year, but there will be more teams this go around sooo.... I'd give yourself a hour and a half to two hours just be safe. the draft order will be randomized that Sunday, so no one knows where they are picking, but I fully endorse you selection of Mr Chara in the first round. might I suggest David Krejci for your second rounder?

I'll be off and on here today, but let me know if you have any more issues, GT.
it appears as though you have no account now on the app... your team name is there but there is no owner now...
probably time to let the gf take over... 😅

If the players from Czech league are available, I would prefer to take Jagr in the second. That would leave Krejci for the third round and I doubt he'd be still available at that time... Sure, you cannot have all the best players...

I took on a new name this year….. AM Lumber! We used to call our beer league team that and my girlfriend at the time was embarrassed to be involved with AM Lumber, and only caught one game. So I’m making a triumphant return to the realms of AM Lumber!!!

Remember last season when I’d set my roster, then near game time I’d get messages from people saying I never set it? That happened like 4-5 times. And I missed out on like 3 of them. I know one of those times against you, you seen my roster set earlier in the day and then it wasn’t set at game time and I missed out. I just think the app has a few glitches. Maybe we need to delete it and re download it? I sure hope that doesn’t happen this year…. To anyone. “In a Soviet Russia, applikasion that not werk, get a crush”!!!

But then I heard you and Shooter tell me my roster was set earlier in the day, but it failed to stay cemented that way. I’ve also learned not to trust this technology thingy. For my two banking apps, I’ve gotten warnings that both had been in a “security leak”. Or better known as a hack. Technology has made life easily harder!!!

I dunno what the hell you are doing over there! I'll delete em both and you can try joining again. if that doesn't work, you better put the midget on the case... edit: nm, neither team showed up in the team managers when I went to delete them... I'll look into it further and if I can't figure it out I'll harass the tech support I guess...

I'm gonna need whomever the duey team is to announce themselves in the next 24-48 hours or else I am deleting their team. as far as your issues go... I'm not sure... you might message tech support and ask them if they can take a look at it. your original team was fine until yesterday. seems like something they should be able to fix...
