NJ Hfboards Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (Keeper League Discussion)

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Keeper players now assigned. Unless I get more interest in changing the draft time, the draft will remain as is for the time being.
 
Wasn't sure where to put this but I run a Yahoo fantasy hockey league (no keepers) and alot of people lost interest. I am looking for 5-7 people to join. If anyone wants to join the league the live draft will be Tuesday around 8. We keep it simple in terms of categories. $50 per team, usually it's winner take all but that is flexible.

If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send the details...
 
Hey, I noticed that the max acquisitions for the league is 50?

That seems low -

I know we don't want folks changing over their teams daily, but I'm pretty sure that we want to keep folks active and don't want to bump your heads at the end of the year if you have injuries.

I'm pretty sure I was up over 100 waiver transactions last year - just ditching the bottom guy on the totem pole for someone better or dealing with injuries.

I am pretty sure we also had the same limit last season and you only did 26 waiver moves (not sure if that includes playoffs).

It does include playoffs. The transaction list for his team for the entire season includes 26 add transactions (and that's really all that's counted, adds - you're not charged a move on a drop or a trade, just a FreeAgent-add or Waiver-add), up to and including those of March 30 (when we were in our third week of fantasy playoffs).


The only manager who ran into the 50 cap was Feed Me A Stray Cat, who made his 50th add on April 1 (which is to say he rationed them well!). Everyone else in the league was under 30 adds. bg was the most active add'er the year before, with 32.
 
Can you update us with the draft time info and anything else we need to know for this season. Major changes etc?

From what I can see:

Draft time is 8pm eastern tomorrow.
Shorthanded Points (SHP) is no longer a scoring category. Blocked Shots (BLK) is now a scoring category.

Those should be the only changes.

Damn straight. Pumped and dumped my way to the championship round (still not sure how I actually made it that far)!

Wow - way more economical than I thought...

I was thinking mainly of the minimum games limit on 'tenders.

I had Elliot, Howard and Luongo for goaltenders last year and they all went down or got beaten out for jobs at times - so I ended up scraping the barrel adding/deleting bad backup goaltenders every week based on who might possibly get a start...

50 seems like the perfect limit then, if it only caught Feed :naughty:
 
Story of my season, man. In November, I had 4 healthy starting goalies. By February, I had 0.
 
Anyone in search of another league? I have a few spots open in my yahoo league :)

draft is tuesday night at 630
 
How long does it take to process add and drop players from waivers? Made a few changes but the pool hasn't updated.

If the player being added is a free agent, it happens instantly (though the player is added to your roster beginning with the next day).

If the player being added is on waivers (as all undrafted players presently are), there is a date in parentheses beside the player's status. It looks like : W (Oct 11) .

That means that the morning of Oct 11 (usually between 3am and 4am eastern), that player will be awarded to whatever manager submitted a waiver claim for him that had the earliest waiver priority, and that manager's waiver priority will be reset to last-in-the-league. And each player whose waiver time expires and nobody made a claim becomes a Free Agent.

Right now, you have #1 waiver priority, me that's a pretty valuable thing (because while you have that you can guarantee yourself first crack at any player another team drops in season). But if you have a claim in for someone who clears waivers tomorrow morning, you will win the claim (nobody outranks you) but you'll go from first to last in the waiver priority line. Later in the season if you and another manager try to claim the same player on waivers, now your low priority will ensure the other manager outranks you.

If the player you're picking up is tremendously important to you and you think another manager has a claim in on that player, you can keep your claim alive and guarantee you get the player and lose your waiver priority. But if it's just some random schlub who nobody else wants anyway, you probably should cancel your waiver claim and just pick up the player when he becomes a free agent tomorrow. Picking up a free agent doesn't change your waiver priority.

Links to your pending waiver claims are at the top of your team page. That's where you can cancel your pending claim.

Ok thanks for that explanation.
 
Having trouble filling a league. Anyone free? Draft is in an hour, and I only have three spots left. PM if interested.
 
So I accepted this in my league:

I got: Toews, Shattenkirk, Rask
I gave: oReilly, josi, holtby.

Was a reallu tough call since josi and holtby havent been good really.
 
Nice out-of-the-blue trade offer there from Zippy. Usually an unsolicited trade pitch falls somewhere on the range between 'just reject it and maybe it'll go away' and 'maybe there's the start of something here but I really need more added, so time for some counteroffers'. But this trade I had the immediate inclination to accept, figured I best sleep on it to make sure I wasn't fooling myself, and accepted this morning.

Zippy sent PKessel+BSchenn+HLindholm for TJohnson+NEhlers+VHedman .

Did you see me talking down Tyler Johnson in the Fantasy subforum and figure I'd be eager to move him, Zippy? :) I have had to bench him at least a couple times this season as my #3C (I've gambled Turris to be more productive, and to date he has been, if only marginally) so being able to replace a center with a winger is good. Kessel is likely keeper-calibre and IMHO Johnson isn't; even at the cost of downgrading Ehlers to Schenn and Hedman to Lindholm it was worth it.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised how close that one was. I did the same thing you did before I sent it. Did you look at how the Yahoo trade evaluation for the rest of the season comparing the two sides? It wasn't much difference.

To be honest, the main reason trying to do whatever I can to win the face-off win battle. To be honest, I thought the swaps were even across the board, but I just like the players I'm getting more than the players I'm trading. Plus, I've been having trouble getting James Neal in on RW so Ehlers gives me some flexibility with his positions.

It was between you and tmg who I was going to trade a RW to.

I just couldn't come up with a trade I liked better than the one I proposed to him.

Fair enough.

Quick question about position eligibility - Rakell has been playing third line RW for the Ducks since he came back. When will he get RW eligibility?

I could definitely move one of my keeper-level D (Letang ADP 37.5 or Subban ADP 21.6) as the major part of a deal returning one of your keeper-level LW (Panarin ADP 27.4 or Hall ADP 47.7) as its major asset. Pitch me an offer I can't refuse!

I'll keep you mind. I'm not in a rush to make a deal given my team is doing well at the moment. I've picked up Phaneuf recently if he can give me PIM, SOG and BLK.
