For me? No, I'd like to see more...I liked the teams I've assembled and I want to keep more of them. I always have 3-4 guys I'm annoyed at losing every year.
2024-25 HFBoards Yahoo Fantasy Premier Keeper League - Draft Sun Sept 29th 6pm PST
- Thread starter CRDragon
- Start date
Each team gets 20 players...
And with 9 keepers...
That is 45% of the team each year.
Honestly...
I think that is too much already...
So I would not want more.

That does not mean it should be the entire roster.
It gets boring if the keepers list gets too large.
Transactions will be fewer...
And draft picks would have less value.
Turnovers are part of the game...
Even in keepers.
Who to keep and let go is part of the challenge.
We will see if this goes to a vote...
But I have very little interest to see an expanded keeper list.
45% of the roster is a lot already.

Oh I’m not suggesting the entire roster should be keepers, but i think more than 50% keepers in an actual keeper league shouldn’t be out of the question...especially when 2 of your keepers are required to be rookies, which mitigates the overall value of the keepers you can choose. I’d be interested in seeing what the consensus is.
Have space for a rookie if anyone wants to make an offer. Won't necessarily trade for one if too expensive but will pull the trigger if the price is right.
Keepers:
McDavid (Franchise) (Sixth)
Kuemper (Franchise) (Fourth)
Markstrom (Third)
Ovechkin (Second)
Sergachev (First)
Montour (First)
Ullmark (First)
Noah Dobson (First)

no it was done to make sure good teams have a shot at them
sorry to be a jerk here--but if the number of keepers are increased I will have to step out. I am in 6 keeper leagues and this one has by far the most keepers

In that case, not to be a jerk here, but I'd like to call for a vote to increase the keepers...however, if my side loses I'm not going to sulk off, I'll deal with it.
Change will apply for the following year if we do pass this from a vote. We'll need a second as well. I'm on the boat that we should keep the same number of keepers.

No problem...let me put forth a more detailed proposal to vote on before everyone votes...so its clear what I'm proposing rather than a having people think I'm asking for infinite keepers.

These are my Keepers barring injury. Who will be this year's Tage Thompson.
I will keep an open mind in regards to a potential Canucker's proposal on more keepers...
But I am a solid no right now.
45% of the roster as keepers is a lot.
Any more would make the draft pretty much pointless...
And there will be very little movements in the standings every year.
It will just make things boring.

Proposal: I would like to propose that the current Keeper limit be raised by 1, and have the rookie keeper designation be reduced to 1 from the current 2 rookie keeper requirement. So the net increase is only 1 additional keeper slot, but the restriction of having 2 rookie keepers is less restrictive to teams who are trying to remain competitive in the current season.

What about the winner's prize?
Currently the winner get to keep 8 and 1 instead of the usual 7 and 2.
Your proposal takes that away.
Yeah...
That likely will make at least part of it easier to pass.

Another issue for me is that it is a slippery slope.
Perhaps in the future...
People want more keepers again...
And the keeper list just gets bigger and bigger.
I like the 2 rookies...
Because that actually encourages movements with the new restriction.
People will now make trades to get the rookie that their team lacks.

I could...doesn't bother me to do both individually....either would at least help IMO.
Make the winner's prize that he can remove having to keep a rookie at all if they chose not to....they can go 9 and 0...not difficult really.

Not sure why this would be seen that way...it only gets "bigger and bigger" if the general consensus wants it that way...people will vote on it like they do with every other potential rule change. It will either stand on its own merits, or it will fall...but it will be a group decision (unless maybe the Commish decides it's not within the vision of what he wants for the league).
Either way, I like this idea...I'm pushing for it, but if it's not what the league wants to move forward with based on the vote, I'm not going to whine and cry about it and run off to another league....its still the best league around here and I'm happy to be a part of it...I just think there are always ways of trying to make it better.
I do not like the proposal...
So if this comes to a vote...
My vote will be a no.
45% of the team as keepers is the maximum I can tolerate.
Good luck Canucker.
