2024-25 HFBoards Yahoo Fantasy Premier Keeper League - Draft Sun Sept 29th 6pm PST

[CRDragon]

Wow didn't think the team was able to pull off a goalie category and won all the close categories.

GG Canucker, it was a lot closer than the score looks.

 

[nameless1]

I have no one to drop to take Nylander off IR

You can always just drop him.

Congrats CRD! A well fought victory...Hellebucyk giveth and Hellebucyk taketh away. lol...I think your pickups just far outclassed mine. Next year will be the year of the Canucker!

I was set to drop Gaudreau cause I'll only get 1 game out of him this week, but hard to do that after the last couple of games he's had. The schedule is not my friend this week, most of my squad is playing on the same days haha

 

[Canucker]

And Cole Caufield gets the call just in time for the consolation round! lol

 

[nameless1]

Benn comes back to haunt me.
Poetic justice.

 

[CRDragon]

Why do my goalies like to begin the week playing worse than empty nets? Ugh can't hate Kuemper though, bailed me out last week, but unacceptable tonight.

 

[nameless1]

I will put Ehlers on LTIR.
He is out for the season...
And I plan to keep him for next year.

 

[CRDragon]

SV% dips below .850 once again by Wednesday night LOL this goaltending is a joke, this includes a shutout game as well. Wow.

 

[nameless1]

Fun week though.
Big swings thus far.

I do not want to jinx myself...
But I am not exactly dead.

 

[ArtursSilovsShirt]

You're definitely not dead, I'd almost rather be in your shoes right now. As I said earlier this week, the schedule is not in my favour so I need my guys to keep putting up big numbers.

Like CRD, my goalies are absolutely killing me.


Also, a couple more potential things to consider for next year and beyond...

More roster spots? There's been some incredible players available as FAs and waivers this year, maybe we should add one more utility or bench spot or both next season to make it a little more tough on us? I've gotten guys like Couturier, Benn and Strome as FAs this year. Have wanted to go after guys like Kreider and RNH on FA/waivers too but haven't had the room to add them at the time. Those players are WAY too good to be available IMO...

Also, this league's been going for over a decade. We have a ton of active and great managers and I don't think any of us are kids...we should consider making the pool for money? Nothing serious obviously since none of us know each other in real life haha but I trust a commish like CRD to be honest and handle the finances. I'm not saying $100 buy in like my other pools, but maybe we all put in $20 and the winner gets $160, 2nd gets $80 or something? We don't have to, but this league is obviously pretty special to be going for this long and we all love it, why not throw a $20 in (pocket change for even poor shmucks like me) and have a bit of a reward for having a great season?

Just a couple thoughts

 

[VanillaCoke]

Wait we're allowed to have Goalies who actually play games?!

Just a couple thoughts

I got somewhat lucky.
Saros got lit up...
But that was for over 50 shots...
So the save percentage is still somewhat in tact.
2 of my struggling goalies also happen to play each other all week.
That means I will get a win or two.

I might not want to put money in.
I quit gambling a long time ago...
And I do not plan to start again.

 

[BrockH]

I'm happy with bragging rights (if I ever get them). Making it a money pool is just an added complication I don't want or need.

 

[Canucker]

Yeah, I invest a lot of time and angst into this pool already, money would only add stress. I don’t mind the idea of adding roster spots though.

 

[nameless1]

I prefer the same roster spots.
It is large enough already...
And I actually want to have some options on waiver wire.

 

[nameless1]

Wait we're allowed to have Goalies who actually play games?!

Ouch.
Luck is not by your side.

 

[archangel2]

f*** Covid

 

[nameless1]

Bo really going for it.
Tomorrow will be fun.
Good luck.

 

[CRDragon]

Basically the best line up I can put out today.

GL HF!

Thanks for your thoughts. I think we've had this discussion before a few years into the league. It'll take everyone to agree to put into place, but I think bragging rights are worth more

 

[nameless1]

Good pickup by Bo.
I had hope too.


I could not get that last shot.
Good luck next week Bo.
Top 2 seeds goes head-to-head.

 

[ArtursSilovsShirt]

Can’t believe that worked out haha retirement game. Im terrified of a SOG stat correction though im debating picking someone up

It should be fine.
I believe it will be way too late for it to count.
Plus...
It could go either way anyways.

The SOG is actually tied right now.
Faulk got 5 and Kaprizov got 4.
You pretty much have it locked.

 

[CRDragon]

GG Vanilla! Good luck in the finals!
