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

[Canucker]

f*** the Florida Panthers for cutting Knight after the Keeper deadline.

Probably just a numbers game getting their cap in order...I'd bet he'll be back sooner than later.

If they did it a day earlier that would have been nice lol.

I agree with this assessment. You guys are on the clock. Let's get this league really active again and create some fun rivalries and matchup. Once you're in the playoff dance, we know how random it could be and anything can happen.

Your turn.

I'll be the big bad boss goliath. Go be David!

Yeah...
You really do not know how to raise morale.


Frankly...
This is downright discouraging...
And nobody outside of the trade parties is happy about any of this.

However...
Most of us have reached begrudging acceptance...
Because there is nothing nefarious in any of this...
And we move on...
Because this is how the world works.

Anyways...
I have stated my piece.
If LB can just talk with more people...
That will be great.


See you all at the draft.

Deep inside you have a fire inside you now to succeed.

We have a better chance if LB would also talk with other people for trades too.

you can always initiate a convo

I'm sure you all hear from me here and there about trades....right?

 

[Canucks LB]

You could literally send me a DM right now lol

Accept Huberdeau for Jarvis. Honestly believe Huberdeau should have a huge bounce back season and would love to keep him if I could, but can only hold on to 7 vets and it was either Huberdeau or DeBrincat out. Jarvis gives me a 2nd rookie. Thanks Brock!

A couple of edits had to be made for lists that did not match on Yahoo. Notifications were sent to the two teams.

Disclaimer: I'm giving you guys a lot of grace with these mismatches. Don't blame me if I make a mistake, they should both match in the first place (aka if one is empty, I filled it for you). I'm doing what is best given what I've seen from the posts.

 

[CRDragon]

Here is the draft order. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK AND CONFIRM. The last 8 picks are SUPPLEMENTARY PICKS (after the first 11 picks are used and/or extra picks needed with lesser than 9 keepers). So they go in order of the regular draft.

Let me know if any changes need to be made immediately. Thank you and see you at the draft tomorrow 5pm PST.

@ahmon @archangel2 @BrockH @Canucker @StrictlyCommercial @Canucks LB @Balls Mahoney @VanillaCoke @Fedz @nameless1 @Kuzmenkshow

Fun fact:
nameless1's last pick is 63rd overall.
CRD's first pick is 64th overall.

This will be the first time in history one team has finished drafting before another team drafts for the first time.

History is made!

 

[nameless1]

I got ahmon's sixth rounder.

Edit:
I thought I deleted the message.
My mistake.
No problems from my end.

 

[CRDragon]

I got ahmon's sixth rounder.

Could you elaborate? Or did you already use up your 11 picks? Yahoo doesn't have you having ahmon's 6th unless it was an offseason trade that is not listed in the first page.

 

[nameless1]

Sorry...
I thought I deleted the message.
My mistake.

Everything is good.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Looks good on my end, last pick in 9th round.

 

[Canucker]

Looks ok to me.

 

[BrockH]

I’m overseas with limited access, but Huberdeau replaced Scheifele for me when I made that trade.

Edit: Nwvermind, looks like CRD figured that out. Thank you!

 

[BrockH]

Well, wish me luck. Best draft position I’ve had in years and it’s going to be all auto-draft based on default rankings.

I’ll see the damage in the morning (or possibly in a few days when I get back).

You should set your first pick at least. Spoiler alert, Bedard will be off the Board.

It was too late to do pre-rankings last night, and been too busy otherwise. I’m in Europe for my best friends wedding (which is today), so I wasn’t getting up in the middle of the night for a draft.
