Huge brain fart on my part yesterday--how did I leave Calder on the pine with a slot open? Arghh!

Nice production out of Smyth, Little M. It's always funny to see those guys with 1 SOG who score--on one hand you're like "very efficient" and on the other hand "you need to shoot more, you idiot!"

I only just realized that we were playing h2h and not fantasy points. Hmmm--I've really got to pay more attention!

That's why we can't pick up some of those players immediately--you can't make lineup changes until the match is over.

How does Yahoo determine if a players unscheduled missed game will count against the projected total?

Last night Derek Morris was scratched from his game and Yahoo counted that missed game as a played one, giving me 7 used games (5 from Oct. 5, 2 from last night, one being Morris')... Yet i notice that even though i had Ray Whitney starting on Oct. 5, they didn't count his missed game against my total. Am i just not understanding how this works?

The Dienasty
ID: 132591
Fri, Oct 07, 2005, 05:35

Upon further review, it seems that they tabulate games correctly for players who are on the IR and left on starting lineups, but not players who are late scratched or scratched without prior notice that are in starting lineups. I guess i just burned a defenceman game then? That still doesn't explain how i am projected to be over the games played limit though...

If no one has made a claim on a dropped player then the priority should still be in reverse order of the draft positions.

You'll be able to see if anyone has picked up a waiver player by checking all transactions. Unfortnately I can't check from work, but when I return home I can review it.

Thanks guys. This was my first ever roto league and im about as surprised as you are at how things went.

It was a dog fight early on, but my team was able to somehow break free and build up momentum in several catagories (almost single handedly thanks to Jagr) and really from there it was protecting my lead as much as i could. I have a feeling with the way things were going that if the season were to continue another month or two, i would probably have been drawn back into the pack, seeing as Jagr was cooling off, and having only 1 quality goalie giving me starts.

Extremely fun season though, can't wait for another go around.

I would like to add my congratulations to The Dienasty for his win.

I had a lot of fun during the year and hope that we will do this again next year. I learned a few things this year, including:

1) Goalie points are really unpredictable. I spent my first two picks on goalies, but was unable to predict that the hot goalies at the end of the year would include Emery, Huet, Toskala, Aubin and Lundqvist.

2) Because of the maximum number of games allowed at each position, it is necessary to pace yourself during the year. You don't have to have a full line up going every day, because every game played by your 5th best center may take away a game from your top centers at the end of the year.

Once again, it was a lot of fun and I am already looking forward to making a better effort next year.

Personally...not a fan of hockey head to head. With baseball and football its ok, because the schedules are pretty exact.

Every team plays 1 football game per week, and every team plays 6 baseball games per week.

With hockey I have seen a weekly variance from a team having 2 games for a given week right up to 4 games for a different team in that same week. Then you are playing a "schedule" pool as much as you are players and stats.

I've never used the point system, so I would need more info on that...

Good to have you aboard Cobwebs, your TSN prowess should translate well into the roto style game.

It looks like all that's left to figure out is the start date, draft order and the matter of bringing 3 more managers.

With Cobwebs, we have 10. I would like to cap it at 12 so we have a little more talent on the waiver wire.

I say we can set a start date as soon as we get two more managers.

I will post a manager request thread.

My pre-draft queue is empty right now, but I'd be happy to email it to whoever wants it;)

Just to clarify things, are these still the roster/categories we're playing with?

Roster Size: 3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 5 Defense, 2 Goalies and 5 Bench for a 21 Man Roster.

Skaters: G, A, +/-, SOG, PIM, PPP
Goalies: W, Sv%, GAA, SHO

I am ok with waiting to see if another manager comes forward. No need to start immediately.

With regards to the questions you posed in the Yahoo info email barilko, i think snaking the draft every year using a reverse order of finish the previous year is the best way to go. For this season though it would be the the ol' names-in-a-hat method. Then again, ive never played a keeper league so someone with more experience might want to chime in that's more preffered or common.

As far as a start date, i say we get going a day or two after the last manager signs up at Yahoo.

Hey all...sorry I was away for Soccer practices...

Perm Dude, thanks for setting that up on Kafenatid. Much appreciated.

That makes you assistant commissioner, all Kafenatid duties fall to you! lol

Perm Dude can set the order through Kafenatid once everyone signs up there, and hopefully we can still get things going by Tuesday, or earlier.

I suggest a 6 hour time clock for picks, and then have the clock stopped from Midnight until 8:00 EST.

Does that work for everyone?

134

Perm Dude
ID: 5183188
Fri, Sep 08, 2006, 14:18

As soon as KKB sends me back the signup information, I'll send it off to everyone. 6 hours is fine with me--we can adjust as needed. Because of the length of the draft and the rapidly-approaching season, the clock might come into play late in the draft, so the use of queues is strongly encouraged.

And since we have only 3 keepers with such a huge roster, do we still want to do a straight draft (which is usually used for keeper leagues) or still a snake draft? Since we didn't discuss this at all, I will go with the majority vote.

Wouldn't any non-keeper be out-of-bounds as far as trade talk goes, since they're all going to be re-inserted into the draft pool for this upcoming season anyways? Or am i not understanding this element of keeper pools correctly?..

I would think that all rostered players are potential keepers until keepers are actually declared. With that in mind, any currently-rostered player can be moved around, IMO, until keepers are declared. At that point all other players are back in the pool. (Some of mine will settle into the deep end...).

Re #172: I think a straight draft would be best--we have only 3 keepers out of so many players!

BTW, any interest in juggling number of positions? I had a lot of centers to try to squeeze into the game, good RW but crappy LW. Maybe we go with just Wings as a position?

LW was the toughest position to fill with quality players. I like the idea of losing the distinction between R and L.

Still too early to start all the trading. Maybe in late August/September when peoples vacations wrap up.
Declare a keeper deadline date and then work the trades.
If trades are made now then the players swapped should become automatic keepers.

I'm fine with the positions.

I could go either way on the wingers.

I do think we should hold onto all trading until our final managers are set, to allow all managers to have equal chance at acquiring available players.

All players currently on a roster are open to be traded in a keeper league. Last year our draft went pretty quick, so I think the late August deadline that Super alluded to would work fine.

I also agree a snake draft would work best, all teams have 3 nice keepers.

Thoughts?

I'd prefer to keep a distinction between LW and RW, i think it makes the draft more challenging. But ill go with the flow.

How about draft order? Reverse finish from last year? Randomized?

Alright, it looks like there are enough managers to keep the Wing designates.

Amazingly enough, we have all 12 managers returning! That is awesome!

So...I say all trading may begin. Draft picks may be traded, but I think we need to establish a draft order to factor in the trades.

Two Proposals that Dienasty mentioned:

1. Random Order, Snake Draft
2. Reverse Order of Last year's finish, still a snake draft.

I am ok with either one, so I say we put it to a vote. Vote 1. Vote 2.

Thoughts?

Alright, I am going to set August 28th as the deadline to declare your 3 keepers. That will still give us plenty of time to complete the draft.

Since we have all managers returning, trading is open. Philly, check your email, and let the fun begin!

Guys I have available:

Marc-Andre Fleury: The young star goalie of a young star team. Posted great numbers, but imagine how much he is going to improve. Keep him for years!

Roberto Luongo: MVP like season! Great stats across the board, and very durable. Still very young too! Only 28!

Daniel Briere: Posted great numbers while rotating lines in Buffalo. Will play much more in Philly. 100 point powerplay man.

Daniel Sedin: Put up surprisingly great, but quiet numbers in VCR. Only getting better each year.

Brian Rafalski: Playing with Lidstrom now, in an offensive team system. Watch his points jet up!

Patrick Elias: If he stays healthy, he can put up MVP like numbers...get him cheap here!

Vesa Toskala: For those Leafs fans who need the starting goalie!

I was wondering what we were using to decide player positions. For example, Perm Dude's list posted above has Malkin at C and LW. Right now, Yahoo is only showing him at LW. There are others, such as Heatley, who is listed as LW and RW above and only as RW on Yahoo.

232

Good Point Little M. I haven't really checked at Yahoo! I was basing my keepers on last years final positions as listed in this thread and thus didn't make any trade offers.

2006/07 season
Ovechkin LW
Malkin C
Nabokov G

If it has to change I'd like to have a couple of more days to think about it and if possible make trade offers based on the yahoo! positions.

I have no problem extending the deadline if that is ok with everyone.

I would like to keep with that Yahoo designations for positions though, rather than have our own arbitary, possibly debatable, choices.

Last year our draft went pretty quick, so I can see extending the deadline to Sept 4thish?

Tue, Sep 04, 2007, 09:58

We will set the deadline for midnight tonight, and then I can have all the draft stuff ready for Thursday AM, or do we want to wait a bit for training camps to get underway?

Last year we finished the draft in 10 days, we started on the 12th of September and finished on the 22nd, with a minor slow hiccup at the start of the draft to get everyone on board.

This year we are going 3 less rounds with the same managers, so 10 days is a good target again, meaning we can wait to start things if that is what we all want.

Season starts on September 29 this year.

248

Little M
ID: 57629417
Tue, Sep 04, 2007, 16:02

I wouldn't want to delay the draft too long. I think that we should start on Monday at the latest. We don't need traning camps to be open for the first few rounds of the draft and 21 rounds in 10 days is extremely quick and shouldn't be expected every year.

Missing From Kafenatid:

Taxman

Dienesty

Missing from Yahoo:

Taxman

(Although who is Party at the Staals?)

Has anyone heard from Taxman at all? Are we going to have to think about looking for a replacement? He hasn't checked in since early Friday morning for a draft that in all intents and purposes was lined up to start on Monday morning.

I've got a little problem for the upcoming draft... maybe someone will be willing to help me out.

I'm leaving town this morning for a combination of work(week days)/camping (week-end) until wednesday next week. Its just been confirm now. As much as i hate this, maybe i'll need the commish to make picks for me until i come back. Perhaps i could e-mail guidelines, but there is no way i can make a 10 round queue.

There are player i am willing to reach for. So perhaps i could leave with yahoo ranking. Except if someone have a better idea.

I live in MTL, maybe some1 else in this draft could call on my cell phose eveytime i'm up. You guys have any idea?

By the way...in Yahoo...do you intend to keep the yahoo "Can't Cut List". Their "list" always struck me as a way to penalize a team with a star that suffers a season/career ending injury or pulls a Bertuzzi type stunt destroying fantasy value for multiple seasons.

With Kafenatid you get the first 3 rounds for free, which turned out to be our keeper picks. So once everyone was registered finally, then I was able to pay and enter the keepers, however I had to stop after the 3 rounds and now I am waiting for my payment to be processed.

The correct answer to what they have in common is "they aren't on the team that's going to win the league this year". :)

We need to get this draft moving - less than two weeks until the first puck drops. We need to be using the draft thread until OTC starts our draft.

barilko6, not sure if your mail blocked my email or not, but the payment was registered within an hour or so of when you sent it. You've been good to go for a couple of days now. From what I can tell, you just need to go to the Admin Home and click the "Start Draft" link.

KKB, check your email, we have a problem! I entered the first 3 rounds of keepers, but now it is starting the fourth round at the bottom of our order.

Its a snake draft, but we need to start round 4 after the keepers at the top of the order, can that be fixed?

I have access now, and will have access for 10 minutes maybe tomorrow... i don't have access to my e-mails, and wont for the next 3-4 days minimum...

As i said, i will live with yahoo's best pick even though that is not optimal way to draft. If you guys are willing to wait then that is awesome, but if not, don't wait for me. I would hate to hold the draft for 1 week.

Only way to reach me is via cell phone 514-863-0622, but since i will work in a oil raffinery for the next week, i'm not allowed to receive any call... so it's not real usefull.

I'll wait for instruction and will check back in the morning tomorrow.

We'll be cutting it exceedingly close if we wait till Wednesday to get going again. That would leave us 9 days to complete 16.5 rounds.

You could make your 4th round pick (which has been OTC for a while now), then I'd suggest leaving a long queue good at least for 5-6 rounds. That way you would be able to have a hand in picking your most important players.

What is the rule regarding who can be drafted? Does the player have to be on Yahoo? Does the player have to be in the NHL? With this being a keeper league, how far are we allowing teams to go in drafting players? For example, can Perm Dude draft Declan?

If someone wants somebody not in the Yahoo database, they can post their player intentions on this site and then draft a placeholder from KKB, someone who is obviously not going to be drafted.

Then I will contact Fred and see if we can get that player added to his database.

I didn't have any luck with my D-men last season, so it was a high priority for me to get a stud D early.
After taking Whitney, I had to sit in agony while good skaters fell off the board one by one until it was my turn again. But that's how it should be:-)

Wondering what the plans are for the weekend. Right now, Kafenatid is showing the clock to be turned off on Saturday and Sunday. The reason that I am asking is that I cannot spend much time on the computer this weekend, but if the clock is going to be on, I will try to set up a large queue and check in when I get a chance.

I think as Commish you can select for him (a place holder) and let the draft continue.

When he shows up...have him designate his pick(s) and you can swap it for the place holder (is Bobby Hull available). That gets us back to drafting...and maybe will encourage him to leave a queue.

I think you used the free form commissioner only draft tool to correct my intended selection of Semin. Same process...just pick a player that is off the charts as a draft prospect.

Looks like we have come a grinding stop again. Time to start working on another queue. It would be nice if I could make one pick myself.

Well, I am out for the night again. I have left a queue, but please only use for Round 8. I will be back tomorrow morning.

Can we start a new thread? These things get tough to read after 400 posts!

STOP

Per post 399, Little M's queue was not intended for use in round 9. I'd recommend that his pick be undone and we wait for in the morning. I'll have my queue ready in case I'm not one before he picks in the AM.

I agree with The Beezer on both accounts. I have taken it upon myself and created a new thread for the league. Nothing I can do about LittleM's pick.
