Fantasy Hockey 2017-2018

New thread.
It was proposed that we introduce +/-
If we were to, I'd be up for getting rid of SHP to facilitate. I don't want too many categories!

alanmcl12

I'm all for including +/- and think we should remove something for it. But I'd like to keep SHP think it's a nice bonus and can swing stuff each week.

My suggestion would be SOG or Hits be removed.

Also are we doing a live draft again this year.

scottmcb04

We should try do a live draft, any preferred dates?

We voted a couple of years ago to get rid of +/-, I'm not a fan of it as it discounts players that are on poorer teams...

would be up for removing hits though, very subjective!

Izy

adding +/- or removing hits or SOG makes too many players irrelevant...
i don't mind adding +/- but wouldn't like to see hits or SOG removed

live draft is cool, any evening from 8 should be fine

smackbunnybaby

I don't like +/- either because it means you have to avoid teams of players.
In the past its been teams like Edmonton, who were loaded with talent, but the differential killed you.
This year it could be Vegas....

Mr_Man2121

Hi. Can I play this year.

alanmcl12

I'd say a Sunday evening after 8 would be good for a live draft, think we've done it that way last few years and think most made it in

MrJoeSoap

I'm in! Is there a league set up already? I'm happy to set one up, if not.

Playing for free, or for cash?

Berserker

Count me in for this season also, please. Don't want to see SHP removed, if I am honest. SHP are too valuable. Ditto for hits and SOG. Can we not just add +/-? It was there prior to last season, if I remember correctly.

scottmcb04

Do we really miss +/-... it is not a good stat imo...

Can everyone that is in and is participating this year post their team name and preference for +/-? The league automatically renewed and I want to make sure that everyone is going to be active/remove inactive players! Thanks!

Existing categories are good and are staying!

I can only do weekends for live draft, currently have it pegged for the 30th @ 12pm my time, so 8pm Irish time! Let me know if that works!

MrJoeSoap

That time works for me. Can I get a link or invite to join? I can PM my email address to the commissioner if necessary.

Mr_Man2121

That also works for me

Berserker

Is there a new league set up or are we using the same one as last season?

Same as last one.
If you log in your team should be active again

I didn't play last year but can I play this year

Izy

1, izy's stealers
2, don't mind +/-
3, draft on 30th at 8pm is cool

Scott needs to know if everyone is back before he can make that decision.

"The league automatically renewed and I want to make sure that everyone is going to be active/remove inactive players! Thanks!"

Not sure if he has heard back from everyone yet. the league has 10 people, we need an even number as it is Head to Head.

ZuM16

Id be interested in playing this year if there is room.

Berserker

Anyone interested in reducing the number of IR slots to one? Makes things a little more interesting if/when you hit a patch of injuries. My team is "The Henrik Show", for the record.

alanmcl12

1 - Dickens Cider
2 - Don't mind +/- but would like to keep the existing categories
3 - Draft on Sunday at 8pm is good with me. I know people are saying the 30th here is it not the 1st of Oct

MrJoeSoap

How is it looking for remaining spaces?

scottmcb04

looks pretty good at the minute, unless a couple of lads come out of the woodwork... looks like we have 6/7 confirmed at the minute...

send me on your email addresses on private chat there anyway...

I need confirmation on what your team is there beserker?

setting a deadline of thursday evening to notify me of team name and confirmation that you are in for the year or i will just get rid of the team, couple of guys are active on the league page but not here, which is fine...

I might have to re-send invitations, so keep an eye out for emails friday/saturday morning!

scottmcb04

right i have everything sorted... new guys can check your emails, you should have an invite, let me know if you don't...

had to increase the number of teams to 12 to get everyone in, i'm going to try and manage a second team!

draft sunday at 8pm irish time...

good luck!

Asked a few friends there! Will report back as soon as I can to see if we can get a 12th!

*secretly removes league manager trade review*

Izy

no +/- on the end?

scottmcb04

good luck this season lads...

any sense to setting up a season thread? i wouldn't mind having somewhere to express how much i love watching ho-sang play hockey!

Berserker

No harm in having a thread for the season. I will post in it.

smackbunnybaby

I set up a regular season chat thread!
any one know a mod that can sticky the chat and the current fantasy one and unsticky the old ones?

Izy

after2 games i felt like dropping my entire team, but decided to give them a chance. they are coming about slowly :-)

Berserker

Wouldn't panic yet, it's very early in the season. I had high hopes for my keepers but they have been woeful so far. If they can get their arses into gear and my scorers start to convert more of the SOGs into goals and assists, I should be be upwardly mobile.

Izy

i'm the same every year, doing this for years...

my first 2 picks have 1 assist so far together...only way is up

Izy

jamie Benn gets C added to his LW is a lovely bonus...

MrJoeSoap

Thanks for a great season, all. See you again next year!

Berserker

I enjoyed it overall but I did make some poor decisions this time round. I dropped Dubnyk when he got injured. From reading the reports, I gathered that he was going to be out for a long time and that was incorrect. Well done on your win, MrJoeSoap. Felt for Izy Stealers, your regular season stats were brilliant. Third place was a decent result for me given my roster.

Izy

thanks guys, doesn't matter where you finish in the regular season once it's playoffs hockey haha, injuries ruined me the last 2 weeks...
looking forward to next season...
Well done to all

MrJoeSoap

Is there much appetite for a 2018-2019 Fantasy league? Might be worth starting a new thread?

scottmcb04

Yeah, i still think it might be a bit early? In a week or so, i will renew the league and see who bites?

Berserker

I'd be up for it. The regular season doesn't start for another few weeks.

MrJoeSoap

Most places have their projections out, and I've a couple of leagues where the drafts are set up already. No harm in getting the ball rolling and seeing if the interest is there? Does anyone want to start the new thread? I can do it, if not?

smackbunnybaby

yep! I'm in.
its a great competitive league we have

As defending champ, you can have the privilege. I'll take first pick in the draft instead.

Mr_Man2121

Me 3

Izy

i'll do it too
