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

Wait what is going on?...

He was a free agent and I called him up after his NHL call-up was announced.

Announced by the Sharks on Twitter at 10:15 am, posted by Yahoo in a player update at 10:22 am and picked up by me at 10:24 am.

Don't think I did anything wrong here and I can't see why you'd have the rights to someone midseason, it's not like he was a LTIR drop?

If I'm told by the commish to drop him I will, but I don't see why I would have to.

[Canucker]

Gotta be on your toes around here with all you vultures. lol

Do the right thing cmon now

 

[Canucker]

I don’t buy that, capitalizing on someone who clearly made a mistake to the miscommunication, it’s just beyond messed up, I’m gonna wait and see what he says, and see if he’s a standup guy or not

You don't buy what? Is he supposed to know you don't know the rules? Or is he supposed to just automatically understand that you don't know the rules and just let you off the hook whenever it becomes apparent you don't know the rules? What's kind of messed up is that you're angry that you didn't know the rules and are expecting others to let you slide, and if they don't they're not a "stand up guy"...that's what's messed up.

Lol cmon man...I am a stand up guy but I just read that message from Canucker on Oct. 4 that very clearly explained the situation to you. I wouldn't call that a miscommunication. I don't consider myself a rules savant but dropping a rookie and retaining their rights while they're in the minors has never been a thing in this league, even i know that.

If you had dropped someone accidentally and ask right away for it to be reversed, I would fully support it. You dropped him 7 weeks ago and have utilized that extra roster spot in 7 matchups since then.

Now you're furious about everything and messaging me privately demanding me to "do the right thing"

Stand up guy, yet mentioning a private DM conversation.

I have nothing to hide, my DM was the same as the post.

I have been in this league since day 1 basically, nobody is perfect, you have every right to keep him, i understand its my mistake now, but knowing its a mistake, knowing that i had no intention of losing him, been flipping goalies on and off all year just waiting for his call up.

You have every opportunity to “ do the right thing” think more like a human instead of a fantasy shark.

Clearly i have not earned enough respect in this pool after all these years.

 

[Canucks LB]

How is there no compassion for a clear mistake, if this was the other way around, i would easily give him back, no question.

Now i am getting lambasted by multiple people instead of the opposite, because i am pissed?

This is beyond disappointing, this league has been around for a decade, where is the respect, and understanding.

Where is the respect for the rules? YOU should take the "L" here, understand that YOU are the one who messed up and YOU are the one who should be pissed at yourself, not at anyone else...and certainly not trying to guilt or demonize someone for not doing what you want them to do because YOU messed up.

I was under the impression we were running a fantasy league here that was competitive? Was I wrong?

That’s how you wanna spin it sure, I am not guilting or demozing anybody, i am and was emotional, got upset early, realized i made a mistake misreading the rules, and asked him to be respectful and give him up.

He clearly has no intention of doing that, that’s his call, just like its my opinion that it’s not a nice one.

 

[Canucks LB]

I don’t wanna argue about this anymore, I’m moving on.

If I get any sort of personal shots, I’m going to remove myself from the situation completely.

Believe it or not I consider this place like a family, I don’t dislike any of you guys, I treat you guys extremely well, and we’ve been in this league for a very long time.

I’m disappointed how all this happened, but so be it.

"You have every opportunity to “ do the right thing” think more like a human instead of a fantasy shark."

"do the right thing and send him to me"

lol...thats not spin my dude.

It's not about liking or disliking, its about the rules...I try to learn and follow the rules of the games I'm playing, I don't expect everyone to know every rule...but the rules are the rules ultimately and they should be respected, otherwise whats the point?

I’m moving on, maybe I shouldn’t have used such harsh words, but I was pissed off.

I’m just annoyed at this entire situation, at myself, and that the people taking advantage of the situation.

Like you said, it’s his right.

Now I’m moving on

 

[CRDragon]

Get some quick clarification, askarov just got sat down, if I send him down, nobody can pick him up, correct?

If he's sent down and has the "N/A" designation, nobody can pick him up...but if he gets called up and the NA designation is removed, he's fair game to be picked up by anyone. If you want to protect him you need to keep him on your roster.

I believe Canucker's response was pretty clear. Sorry LB, Askarov's fair game. His post was liked by both commish and you as well so I assume it's read.

I missed a full page of responses. Glad it's taken care of. We're the best league for a reason, have to be on your toes!

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

I was only 12 hours late, damn.

 

[archangel2]

I thought the Askerov thing was asked and answered. Once recalled ANYONE could pick him up. So not sure why it is an issue. The only players that other teams can NOT pick up are players sent dropped due to be on the LTIR as they remain property of the OG team but the OG team does not get the player back till the seasons ends

 

[archangel2]

BTW

I am losing patience with Ryan O Reily and Chris Keider this season and may make a move against them sooner than later. Both are a drag on my team right now.

 

[archangel2]

yeah--going to start blowing up my team over the next few weeks. Too many underperforming guys and it is frustrating to lose only by one or two pts per category some weeks

Sorry--I am the DUMBEST person on the board and I understood the rules

 

[Canucks LB]

Thanks for your late input after everybody moved on already.

It’s not under performing guys, your roster is not good, and that’s coming from someone who is literally in last place mostly due to goaltending right now.

Orielly is a old basically 2C now with low peripherals.
Roslovic is a 2nd/3rd liner
Foligno is a 2nd/3rd liner
Tippett is a decent fantasy player
Vilardi is decent
Palmeri is not that good, having a decent start
Faulk is awful in fantasy
Hanifin is awful in fantasy
Ekholm is great in real life, average in fantasy
Carrier is waiver fodder
Horvat is pretty good fantasy player
Barkov is elite in IRL, really good in fantasy
Kreider is usually good in fantasy, slow start for him
Chinakhov is waiver fodder
Marchenko is good irl, average in fantasy
Siegenthaler is waiver fodder
Boeser is fantastic

All 5 goalies you have are not good fantasy goalies.

Just look at the rosters around you, they have like Four or 5 absolute stars.

But to be fair, Let's compare this to my Roster which is also Struggling like yours.

Necas - One of the best players in Fantasy right now, Breakout year, over performing.
Byfield - Waiver Fodder
Peterka - 2nd Line Okay Fantasy player at best
McMann - Waiver Fodder
Garland - Decent Fantasy Player
Thompson - Pretty good Fantasy Player
Morriessey - Great Fantasy Player, having a better season then expected
Luke Schenn - Good for Hits only, Waiver Fodder
Jake Sanderson - Okay Fantasy player at best
Brent Clark - Recently has been waiver fodder lol
Michkov - Elite potential, too early
Boldy - Great Fantasy player
Donato - Waiver Fodder
Quinn Hughes - Elite Fantasy player
Panarin - Elite player, Great Fantasy player
Mittelstadt - Good Fantasy player
Caufield - Good Fantasy player, having nice year

Woll - Should be a #1 goalie, injury issues, we will see
Rittich - goalie Fodder
Annunen - Goalie Fodder with hope

As you can see, Were both in similar spots, but my top end is much better, this is why we suck, Look at a team like Vanilla and Compare, and he is only considered a mid tier roster, Might be better than both of ours combined.

My problem is that every week I am within 2 or 3 pts in multiple categories and that is annoying

 

[archangel2]

Did not take long for my goalies to shit the bed

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

That was a crazy close match with @Scholarships. 11 categories extremely close. Very lucky to get an 8-2 victory out of that.
