0-2 versus you so far, at least this was a close one, last time you had me beat by after Thursday's game. Made a couple of line up mistakes, but everyone can say that. Good luck to you as well. That week may have been the closest week we've ever had. A goal here or there could have changed everyones outcome. I gotta think so. 3 of the 4 games decided by 3 points or less. craziness!

I'm still worried they're going to go back and add an assist for Shooter. If that happened it would be the third straight week that I would have the second highest score and lost.

now that voting is going on for draft order, how about thoughts on the league becoming a keeper league? beyond that, how many players and for how long?
I personally think 3 and 3. 3 players and you can't keep any player more than 3 years in a row.
let's hash it out here and I'll make a poll for that once we've at least a majority thought in here.

I'd also like to recommend an addendum that disallows keeping 3 of the same position, also. so, you cannot keep 3 forwards or 3 goalies. 2, max, at any position.

Just to be clear... what would be the starting point for the keeper league? Already from this lineup? Because I have a couple of good players, but not sure if any of them is so special that he qualifies to be a keeper

Just to be clear... what would be the starting point for the keeper league? Already from this lineup? Because I have a couple of good players, but not sure if any of them is so special that he qualifies to be a keeper the idea would be it starts after this current season, so we would be selecting from the players on our current squads. I believe everyone would be required to pick three players, selecting only 1 or 2 would screw up the draft next year. my plan for doing this is would be to have the draft begin with the winner and we all go through the first three rounds and select our keepers and then the fourth round would begin with the team that finished last and go from there. once this season nearing an end, I will make a post here with everyone's keepers in it so we have a documented list and everyone will know who will be available to draft next season.

I'm all for letting suckie, draft first, lol ,and second for that matter, and if we are going to be able to keep 3 players for 3 years, then I vote it starts next year, not keep 3 from this year for next year, my reasons are that some picks maybe would have been different this year , knowing that they could be with you for 3 years, I guess i will go with what ever , but think it would be better to start it all next year

I literally forgot to set my line-up till about 20 mins before the games started. Thought I had done it a few days ago. Not that it really matters.

we look to be missing a shooter, a shark, and some morning wood in the draft poll...

we look to be missing a shooter, a shark, and some morning wood in the draft poll Is there a poll somewhere? Or do you just want our opinions in this thread? In any case, I agree with Shooter here. You need to know about these things before the draft. I would have probably drafted differently and picked a dman in the third round if I had known. Just like last year when the subject had been brought up, I had already traded my best player so as to have a deeper lineup without superstars. I would however be ok if the 3 we protect could be any position such as 3 forwards.

I would like to reiterate that IF we decide to do a keeper league after this season, it will not mean you are stuck with those players for 3 years. after each season everyone will select 3 players to keep for the following season.
which brings up whether we would want to allow those players to be dropped or traded or are you stuck with em for that season? tbh, there are a lot of moving parts here and I think I'd actually be fine with just everyone having a new team each year...

and on that note, I'm making a second poll to vote on whether we want to go ahead with hashing out a keeper league or not! I voted for keeper league, depending on what players are kept it could make the regular draft more interesting, assuming some of the top players are already off the board. Some teams (not in playoff hunt or even if they are) might want to keep several up-and-coming players like Owen Power, Sanderson, MacTavish who will surely be better next year and would be drafted higher as well. #lets to a keeper league

I also believe the draft order and keeper league go hand and hand, they are continuous of the previous season. Plus, when you approach the draft with three keepers you might also draft differently, same as some have said they would have done in this year's draft. It adds another draft strategy element to the draft rather than just take what the computer tells you to take. I would have liked to see a salary cap, by understand that gets a little more complex and most likely need more than 8 teams. If we need to ok all three can be one position to have a keeper league, I am on aboard.

The way my team is playing mine might be in the relegation league next season.

good game, Ja. I was a bit concerned today with Jarry coming back, but I lucked out in OT. then I got so excited that I dropped the wrong player, lol... oops.
one more go around now, t-man. I promise I'll take a knee if I have the chance, unlike 9 this week.... eeesh.
a big one this week. looking at you, nikos and big shoots. this will be the first of a few big tiebreakers in the coming weeks! good luck!

Not that it matters much, but Ullmark had to be replaced for a couple of minutes because of a broken skate blade and it doesn't count as a shutout?
