I've posted the link to draftime in Yahoo! and I've sent out the email. So check your email for the Yahoo! message. Please login and register. Once we've done that, I'll add the keepers and set the draft order.

Taxman has offered co-manage the league and he is also set up as a co-admin of the draft. So if I'm away and help is required Taxman can be consulted.


Hopefully I can get it all done so that we can start drafting tomorrow.

Thanks Wolfer. All keepers are entered in Draftime. I'll open the draft tomorrow. No clock to start and I'll try to keep Yahoo! updated.

I apologize for taking so long to pick. Things got a little hectic at work this afternoon and I somehow I missed that it was my pick.

Correction for the Yahoo roster.

I should have Zach Warenski as my round 16 pick, not Markus Granlund. Draftime is correct.

I made a mistake with one of my last picks, I wanted James Reimer instead of McElhinney. If I could get it changed that would be great, just got them mixed up as I was in a rush. If it is too much trouble or against the rules , no biggie.

Thanks LittleM. Yahoo! is a big finicky when it comes to manually selecting players and putting them on teams. We'll double check the picks once the draftime draft is completed to ensure the right players are on the right teams.

Thanks Taxman for staying on top of things.

We're in the home stretch. Just a couple of rounds to go.

TommyD, Reimer added in Draftime. McElhinney is added back to available players.
I checked Yahoo! and he's on your drafted player roster.

The theme of the season is hindsight, right everybody? That's why I waited this long to make a draft rationale post (that's the ticket...) so with that in mind, here's my 2020 draft recap.

And hopefully for bonus points, a rationale for my recent trade while we're at it.

Keepers- Pastrnak, Price, Petterson, Burns for myself. 2020 Hindsight says I chose wrong on my main decision of Price vs Hellebuyck.
Tommyd, Ira, Superfreak, Little M, Cobwebs have the keepers that I like/liked the most.

I was happy about finishing 2nd last year until planning for 11th pick. We had 11 goalies kept, so I figured with 11th and 14th picks I'd be drafting the 16-20th goalie. Nearly the point where you just wait and grab a skater instead. Saw 5 goalies drafted before my first pick, so I was choosing from Varlamov, Dubnyk, Hellebuyck, Markstrom, Greiss, Kuemper, Lehner. If given the chance, I'd have been interested in choosing from Rinne, Jones, Mrazek, Hart, Grubauer as well. Came down to Landeskog, Dubnyk, Hellebuyck by the time I realized we were drafting. The all around game of Landeskog tempted me into my top pick and the state of the Jets D in the preseason scared me into Dubnyk (18th goalie) on the turnaround. Mrazek, Jones, Huberdeau, Tarasenko my fave picks from the top 2 rounds.

Really wanted to land Stone here. Just missed. I wonder what's wrong with Lehner? Domi really blossomed in Montreal, hard to ignore that while I consider grabbing a 3rd goalie so early. Nothing jumped out enough with Lehner (24th goalie) still around, I really like him as an insurance policy for a fairly shaky top 2. Should've went for Wilson. Or even Hoffman. Starting to become more of a crapshoot. Toews and Nugent-Hopkins both seem like good bets to me. Rittich would've been the really smart bet. Classic 2020. Stone, Wilson, Hoffman, Rittich as my top picks from round 3-6.

3 G, 5 C/LW, 1 RW, 1D after 10 players. Weber, Doughty, Oshie, Zuccarello stood out next to fill some D/RW spots. Meanwhile I missed out on some Nurse, Makar, Lundqvist, Kadri value. Then I went for Hischier, Coleman, Gudas, Edler, Allen, Spurgeon, Olofsson to fill out the squad. Some highlights that I liked at the end of the draft: Halak, Hughes, Crouse, Bertuzzi.

Overall I really liked what I had cooked up. Dropping Allen after about a month was dumb in hindsight, but I've had a lot of letdown from guys like Burns, Landeskog, Nugent-Hopkins, Doughty, Price, Dubnyk that has been a lot to overcome.

Seeing around half of our current top 25 goalies be drafted outside of our top 25 goalie picks, or not at all, has me hopeful that I remember to fill my offense before worrying too much about backup goalie spots in future drafts. This also has me feeling content that we kept things the same for this season. I am still interested to discuss add Blocks or swap PIM for Blocks as a minor change that had a little bit of steam previously.

Based on keepers and draft, my predicted finish: Superfreak, Ira, Little M.
Based on just over half a season it looks like Dienasty, Tax and Cobwebs.
Based on the blockbuster trade today, it looks like it's going to be Filthy (10th) and Perm Dude (12th) shake-n-baking to the front of the pack to finish ahead of Dienasty. Sorry everybody.

Trade logic: was looking around at who might use a D-man based on my overage in GP. Side goal of improving on keeper potential with a current slim pickings for my 4th spot. Maybe 3rd spot too.. Petterson, Pastrnak for sure. Price and Burns again? Uhh, more trades may be in the works if anyone's tinkering. With Burns still being a possible keeper, and Weber possibly sneaking into Burns level, that leaves Doughty/Edler/Gudas/Orlov as my main chips. Doughty being the likeliest to tempt someone. Edler/Gudas/Orlov supplying sneaky value made them very difficult to offer up. Couture just a throw in wild card in case Sharks get hot enough that he can come back and also get hot enough to sneak into keeper consideration. Unlikely. Stalock better fit for me with Dubnyk than Bernier, with Demko being close to cutting block for awhile. Bernier was playing really well and if he returns healthy could see a trade to a contender. If remaining in Detroit, he may be a rollercoaster. Super insignificant tinkering really. The main names: Monahan and Schmaltz both fit my current squads need for assists, as well as having the youth and pedigree to become potential keepers. Oshie is having a solid year but a push for assists is my current fixation. May be wishing I had his goals later on. And I may be wishing I had Doughty instead of a dud like Edler/Gudas/Orlov (hopefully not Weber/Burns in this dud category..) as the season wears on. Outside of early season +/- issues, Doughty has been a solid contributor all around and will be missed.

From Bettman:
"Our goal is to resume play as soon as it is appropriate and prudent, so that we will be able to complete the season and award the Stanley Cup."

Might not even miss any MacKinnon!

A 2-3 week pause would be 8-12 games.
Fingers crossed! Washed first...

Belated congratulations to Cobwebs!

I'm more skeptical than I was in March, but the league seems to be hopeful of starting for January. They did manage to pull off a playoffs, but time grows thin for that January goal.

We could draft during a week long training camp I guess? I'll be ready for whatever I guess?

Ready to kick things off again.

Can't imagine NHL wouldn't give everyone at least a 2-3 week heads-up before puck drop. I feel like we could bang out the draft in 7-10 days tops, assuming the troops check-in early enough.

Looks like they just re-launched fantasy hockey on Yahoo

oo must have literally just re-launched!
Had to dig archives to peek at my keeper potentials.

Article I was looking at suggested only a 1-2 week training camp period in order to fit goal of being finished before Olympics.
Just over 5 weeks til January, so I guess some form of an update must be near.
Seems they're kind of stuck making it up as they go.
Which I'm sure we can match as needed.

I suspect the Canadian team dilemma is one of the hang ups, among others. Last thing I’ve seen is they may play the whole season as one division, and only against each other, which would be crazy.

Not official but sounds like:
2020-21 NHL season will finally get underway on Jan. 13, 2021 with a shortened 56-game regular season....

An all Canadian division sounds part of the plan.
8-10 games vs each of your divisional opponents I guess? Kind of a joke, but beats nothing.

If it's a 24 team playoff again, then the joke has layers to it at least.

If it's 6 teams from each division making it to the round of 24, then only 1 Canadian team will miss the 'playoffs' again.
Top 2 seeds bye? 3-6 face each other round of 24?
Seems fun.
I really like jokes hahahah

sorry for being AWOL. Just a crazy year.

First: Congrats to COBWEBS. Great run and a well deserved victory.

Second: Gimme a couple of days and I'll set up Yahoo!

Third: Thanks to Taxman for the reminder and offer to assist with all the admin duties.

Fourth: As Filthy mentioned, 56 game season against limited opponents. How do you even plan to draft a roster?? LOL
