Alright, Year Seven in our league starts now!
Here's the previous winners:
2018 MD Spartys
2019 Benchworth Bullmoose (contracted)
2020 Team Martinez

2022 Turkleton Turkeys
2023 Jasteroids
Keep eight players. Keep an additional three prospects if you have them. Prospects are position players drafted three or less years ago or goalies drafted five or less years ago. Prospects have played less than fifty games in the NHL. If you have any players that were added to rosters after leaving college last year (Luke Hughes, Matthew Knies, don't think there's many others who fall in this category that someone might have added last year), they're not eligible to be selected as keepers because they were not eligible to be drafted previously. This is because Yahoo doesn't add college players until they're signed to pro contracts and that happens after college seasons end.
We typically do the draft date on the last Sunday night before the season starts at like 9:30 EST. So I guess September 29. Will this work for everyone? It looks like the season starts on October 4 in Prague.
If that's when the season starts, I'll probably set the keeper deadline for September 27. Hopefully there's no significant injuries in preseason but you never know.
If anyone has any questions about prospect eligibility or anything else as you set your keepers, let us know in here.
Here's who owns all the teams (let me know if I have this wrong obv):

HFWings Keeper Fantasy Hockey League: Season Six
Which team was Nut Upstrom? I'm just going to randomize the two teams and you both get what you get. I see that as more fair then letting one pick before the other. Had this scenario in another fantasy league of mine recently. We found a way to make it even more fair while also adding a...
