HFWings Keeper Fantasy Hockey League: Season Six

[jaster]

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 little fun: combine the two rosters and have the two managers draft their keepers from that pool. That is, if the new managers care to, and if we're willing to manage the process (I'm happy to assist).

 

[Sparty]

I was going to suggest that too of they wanted to.

I was also having a hard time remembering which roster was managed by @Nut Upstrom previously. What was your team name?

It must be either Quixote or Ypsi Bitsy Spiders, right? I think the other 8 managers/teams are known/obvious.

 

[Winger98]

I was Jasteroids.

 

[Sparty]

Yeah don't even know who Ypsi Bitsy is, I feel like someone probably wouldn't change their team name if they weren't hanging around though.

Spiders is mine, I just joined this offseason. Can’t get rid of me yet!

In that case, comparing the two available teams, whoa, one has a much better keeper pool than the other. One has 8 legit, good young-ish keepers and the other has.... 3.5?

I just had a look on the Yahoo website and there was an option to "renew" the league. I just clicked on that, so hopefully you can see your team now.

For the two outgoing owners ( @Hammettf2b and @Nut Upstrom ), you probably just got an email to renew your team or something, I'm about to reassign to these two owners so just ignore it.

@Martin Elz

You're in. I'll send you an invite to assume one of the available teams.

@saska sault

You're in. Please give me your address, either through PM or just on here.

Yeah Quixote I think just played one or two years with us. I think that team has had a fair amount of turnover.

I can put the rosters out there and you two can draft your teams in this thread if you're up for that. Just alternate picks after we determine who has the first pick.

Are you both good with that or do you want to roll the dice on the rosters as is? @Martin Elz @saska sault

Actually Jaster I don't know what you're talking about, I'd happily trade my roster for either of these, lol

 

[Martin Elz]

Not knowing the rosters or draft position, I kind of feel like it would be a shame breaking up a young welldrafted team that would soon be in contention.

If i had a choice between the good young team and the team I imagine finished lower in the standings, I'd rather have the "worse" team. I don't mind going into the season as a bit of an underdog.

That all said, it's up to you to decide, if its a draft i'm down for that too.

Is there a way to see the roster before decision? I am pretty easy either way and can roll with the punches for taking over if the other party wants to keep it simple.

 

[Sparty]

I don't know why the one guy went goalie crazy, but here's the two rosters (add John Gibson to the roster w/Pastrnak, but I doubt anyone would be keeping him):

 

[jaster]

I think the Matthews roster has 8 great keepers on it, might trade my team for that one too. But the Pasta roster... I struggle to pick 8 guys I really like. A lot of the "good" players on that roster are old haha.

Yeah I guess it just speaks a lot more to the quality of my roster, lol.

 

[Martin Elz]

I like the right roster, but i dont know the scoring system.

I'm glad to see my team still semi together and finally paying off lol. I went hard core full rebuild at the very beginning and kept waiting for it to hit. Sad I just ran out of time for fantasy hockey.

Good luck to ya'll this year. Hope you have a blast~!

 

[Sparty]

Alright, it sounds like both of you are wanting to keep these rosters together. I just did a coin flip and you can both log in to see which rosters you get after your invites come. You should get them soon.

 

[Sparty]

Alright, invites were sent.

I'm about to put a bow on this thread and I'll start the new one later this week. After our two new owners have taken over their teams, I'm going to start a new thread and I should create a crosswalk again this year so everyone knows which poster here manages each team. That's not always evident just from looking at the team names.

It does get pretty confusing, especially since I'm Winger98 in the league, and @Winger98 is Jasteroids.

Any thoughts of creating a discord or something for this group? As much as I love old school forums, discord is nice for this sort of thing.

 

[saska sault]

Sorry busy day , I'm all signed up now I believe. Look forward to learning the league! I just recently lost a keeper baseball league ... had Ohtani since he was pre MLB... won back to back championships and the league folded... this will mend my broken heart.

What is the best use people find for using Yahoo. I'm unfamiliar with it. Browser or app?

I'm down for it. Don't have technological know-how though.

Right now browser I think. I'm commishioner in another league and they can't view their teams in the app. But browser seems fine.

 

[Wyzer Plan]

You can view roster in app you just can't assign keepers in the app.
