maybe you don’t want to add that extra utility spot then because it is putting the max games very high

 

[Zegras11]

whoa, that’s a big curveball.  yahoo won’t change that?  odd

I doubt it. And we can't change now.  We based a lot of our picks on this.

We did?????

 

[Zegras11]

We did?????

yes, I read all of the changes pre-draft.  Anyone could.

I recommend killing that extra utility spot if you can’t adjust max games.  all that does is put no limit on starts

 

[Zegras11]

can't change it.  We drafted based on those rules posted two days before the draft.  The draft room had two util spots.

 

[Zegras11]

 all that does is put no limit on starts

any why is that an issue?

There is a limit, but not much.

 

[Bill Brasky]

drafting on it doesn’t really mean anything and I’ll do whatever, I was just pointing out that adding a spot only compounds the issue rather than help.  

 

[Zegras11]

what's the issue?

56 games x 3 is 168.  max games is 195 for LW, C and RW.

An extra 27 games per position for your bench players can now be counted.  One under 50% of a 56 game schedule.

So basically 50% of a 4th line gets used.  

5th D guy can now be used 36 of his 56 games.

3rd Util guy can now be used 18 of his 56 games.

Don't understand the issue at all.  WHAT'S THE ISSUE?  LOL

Can't fully play max games for all your players.

 

 

[Bill Brasky]

looks like I have a competitive advantage here...no comment

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

65 was as low as we could go. Same in Uber. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I actually like being able to use more of your lineup, as someone who CJW'ed his games played in pretty much every season I've been in this league except the one that ended because of a pandemic.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

65 was as low as we could go. Same in Uber. 

Do what, now?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

With all these categories, just have some fun. It’s a pandemic after all and only $30. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

4-sport dynasty league. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

4-sport dynasty league. 

There are four sports? Who knew.

 

[Zegras11]

no you don't.  You have more ducks than I do.

 

[dino259]

I was thinking actual Uber. Have to get into the next ride.

My son drafts with me every year.  My first comment to him tonight was, "What do all these GREEN minus signs mean?"

 

[Bill Brasky]

no complaints, was just understanding it.  

 

[Dickie Dunn]

My draft got ruined anyway when I rolled over a 900 and still didn't end up drafting high enough to get MacKinnon.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I think I can add a bench spot (or two). Yay or nay?

I think we probably should but want to make sure it’s ok with you all. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I think I can add a bench spot (or two). Yay or nay?

I'm good with that. Legit waiver wire Free For All, or "supplemental draft" here?

 

[Zegras11]

I think I can add a bench spot (or two). Yay or nay?

I'm ok with 0 or 1.

Two would be 24 players, or 2-3 less total FA's than last year.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I'm good with that. Legit waiver wire Free For All, or "supplemental draft" here?

I figured free for all with waivers.  

 

[Northern Voice]

I effing hate drafting behind Novo.  the worst.

I haven't been able to get on this site all day. I figured Joe found a new way to ban me or something. 

I got shut out of Matthews in all my leagues this year. I figured here at pick 4 I'd finally get him, but no :(

 

[Northern Voice]

I vote yes. I was aware of the 65 game thing and I actually like the strategy it adds... but bigger benches will help with that.

 

[Zegras11]

I figured free for all with waivers.  

just another idea, we 5 IR+ spots, we could eat up more FA's than we have in the past.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

just another ID, we 5 IR+ spots, we could eat up more FA's than we have in the past.

With Covid and a compressed schedule, there’s going to be more players missing time. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Alright. I’ll add one bench as I think that will help everybody a bit. 
 

 

[Northern Voice]

By the way, I think I won.

 

[Northern Voice]

Yeah and there's going to be lots of guys who aren't playing but also can't go on IR (like Dallas now and everyone they play).

 

[Northern Voice]

By the way, I think I won.

There may be a serious issue in the locker room though with Tony DeAngelo and Matt Dumba sharing space.

that was a record number of snipes.  I was paralyzed 

 

[Chemical X]

65 was as low as we could go. Same in Uber. 

Note Yahoo only let me go as low as 65 games per position, so it seems like everybody should follow the cjw strategy this year.

 

[Chemical X]

so basically this is 3.5 C-RW-LW, 4.8 DMen, 2.5 Goalers.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Trendsetter, hero, valiant, noble...these are just words that get mentioned. I'm just a guy, trying to put together a winning roster. 

 

[Gally]

Debutants Ball is tonight? 

Not quite but good guess, it was the cotillion at the Encino Oaks Country Club.  I saw Daniel and Johnny fighting over Ali Mills. Hashbrown Cotillion 

 

[Chemical X]

9p tonite for the real draft?

 

[Cjw_55106]

9p tonite for the real draft?

Given your roster, I can see why you'd post this. 

 

[Northern Voice]

When do we start trading Ducks players to Getz?

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I'm down to draft again.  I'll make the same exact mistakes, but that's fine.

Just seeing this now. My apologies on that. I usually don't do fantasy hockey actually, but might be open to it next year. Hope you guys have fun this year! Good luck to all those involved! 

 

[Cjw_55106]

Stop the count! 

 

[Thorn]

Oh, I’m sorry. Motion denied. 

I strenuously object.

 

[Chemical X]

i don't get this.  I was in first place last night for a bit, then all of these other games started and other points and assists were being found well into the night and past midnight.  i won this league pretty easily.  is there a way to stop west coast stats from being counted?

Meanwhile Brasky is clearly trying to stack the court.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Meanwhile Brasky is clearly trying to stack the court.

Is that a euphemism? 

 

[Chemical X]

Not for nothing, but i’d like to propose a 7th bench spot.  Currently, we have 6, but realistically, many of us need 4 goalers and 2 will be on the bench.  With 56 games and a 65 game max in yahoo, we need 130 goalie games to use.  With a condensed season, maybe goalers get to 40 games played, so 3 would get us only 120 games.  Also, the same applies to skaters.  IR+ is great, but doesn’t help with postponements.  Just my .02.  If i carry 4 Gs, i have 4 bench, maybe 1 D and 3 Fs, not nearly enough to cover games.
