  1. Ok so I've looked more into the Keeper league rules and this is what I found. Based on the default settings, the keeper player is associated with the first round of the draft. Therefore, you keep a player and you don't have a first round pick. So we have two options, we can make it so you CAN choose to keep a player if you want and lose a first round pick (if you don't identify anyone then you still get you're first) or we can have it where you HAVE to choose a keeper prior to the draft and therefore everyone will 'lose' a first round pick and then draft will just go as normal starting in the second round. Any thoughts on which option is better? Also, since we didn't establish these rules at last years draft I'm starting the league with the keeper setting off. After the draft I will turn it on so it will apply to next years draft only. Therefore, nobody can keep any players from last years roster.
  2. To the top part, that is exactly how it would work. If any 'owner' wants to leave, the new guy joining would be allowed to keep a player from the outgoing 'owner's' team. The draft this year will not be impacted by the keeper. This year, you cannot keep a player from last year since in last years draft those rules weren't established. Therefore, the draft this year will be the same as a non-keeper draft. Where it changes is next draft. I see in nfl.com settings I can have 1 keeper allowed. As for what round it is in I will have to look into how that works. I believe there is no option and you have to keep one player. If there is not a single player on your team you want to keep then a) your team is terrible and b) you would likely have to keep someone and then just drop him after the draft and replace him with someone else. I'll look into these questions as they are very valid but I'm just not sure. I'm assuming instead of a 16 round draft (or whatever it is) it will be a 15 round draft since everyone already has one player on the roster. I know some leagues assign a value based on where the player was drafted but I doubt that's how this would work. Again, I'll look it up and let you know.
  3. If Juju is out which is seems then you would be in as your next on the list to have requested. Since this is the first year of keeper you don't start with any. We will draft in late August or early September the same as any other draft with nobody starting out with anybody except who you draft. Then the season will play out and at next years draft you will keep one player off of your current roster that you start with and that player will therefore not re-enter the draft. We will do a normal draft again next season less the 12 players that were selected as their keeper (1 per team). Make sense?
  4. Not even one keeper? I think that's the way the league is leaning based on some responses. Are you sure you want out? It won't be full keeper league.
  5. Beginning this season, yes we will get to keep one player. So in the draft, if you're stuck between two guys you may want to lean towards the younger guy.
  6. Ya as I got thinking more I agree with this. Unless there's strong opposition, one keeper it is.
  7. Ok, I'm starting my list now of following up with everyone who's already in.
  8. Me too. I'm almost thinking 2 keepers rather than 1. Thoughts? Or would that dilute too many top players? Also, I re-read some older posts and there was a request to add TE into the flex spot. I think that's pretty minor so I've made that change. The flex spot you can now use RB, WR or TE.
  9. Neo, you are in line after Qwk if any spots open up. As it gets a bit closer I'll start messaging those that haven't yet responded to see if they are still in for this year. That may open a couple spots. I think maybe we should lean towards just the 1 QB league. With this being a 12 team league then guys like Alex Smith will be starters and guys like Andy Dalton will be second/third round picks if we went 2 QB. That's just not right..... I'm down with full point PPR. I'm kind of liking the idea of allowing one or two keepers especially since the league was pretty active. What are the thoughts on this? Don't let TBP intimidate you :P
  10. +1000
  11. Thanks! Sounds like the majority of the FF world is moving to PPR so we can definetly go with either 0.5 or even full point PPR. Would like to get some opinions on the 2 QB idea.
  12. Hey all, My son was born two weeks ago so I haven't been checking here regularly. But I think it's now time to seriously revive this thread. Thanks ubkev for letting me know someone can take your spot. Since Wildcard asked first, you are now in, I'll send you a PM on the league info. Qwk is first in line if there is an opening. Does anyone else want out this year? We have a decent demand for guys wanting in the league so please only join if you are going to be active and make weekly lineup changes. For the most part last year members were active but some were not. Congrats again to TrueBlue for the championship but we're all gunning for you this time around. I know it's still a month out but we should kick some potential draft dates around sooner than later. It's tough getting a time that works for everyone but we can do our best. Rule changes. There was talk of turning this into a PPR league. Is that what most would like to see? Should we go 0.5PPR or full Point per Reception? Someone suggested making this a 2 QB league. That changes the whole dynamic. I've never done a 2QB league. Has others? I'm leery of the idea myself but if everyone else seems to want it then that's fine with me. Again, please post or message me if you played last year and are not interested this year.
  13. I plan on running this league again this year. More details will be discussed in August on possible draft dates and rule changes for the season. I better have a better showing than last season!
  14. Don't make me google the definition of a word on a Friday afternoon :P
  15. So Georges could get sheltered time and PK minutes and Franson could get sheltered time and PP minutes. Looks like we're going to see a ton of Risto, Bogo and hopefully Pysyk at ES. Sounds like I'll be holding my breath whenever anyone else is on the ice but those 3. Start praying Pysyk is as good as we've seen in +/- 70 games and Bogo stays healthy..... I don't want to rush things at all but even if we sign Franson, McCabe will have a real look at this.
  16. Sam's vision and 'hockey sense' is his key attribute. To me that should be utilized as a center. I would have him as the third line C for next season and then hopefully work his way to 2nd line C in future years. We have enough legit top 6 players to afford the luxury of shielding him a bit on the third line but he also continues to play C at the NHL level.
  17. I agree. I think he's a very underappreciated player. Another guy that can play centre but would have not problem pushing him to the wing. I think he could have a nice year playing on a third line with say Reinhart and Gionta.
  18. Could it be he was playing hurt all year? Hence the surgery. (not being sarcastic, I really don't know how much he was affected by it)
  19. I must say I always look forward to your posts in which you argue your point. Good use of advanced stats and a compelling case. I didn't think our D would be the train wreck as others have said based on my belief that Pysyk will have a larger impact than some are expecting and McCabe may even be ready for the jump. But reading things like this have me worried again.
  20. Our little guy just doesn't want to come out already. My wife's due date was this past Monday and now we have Induction set up for this coming Monday at 9am. It's like the weird calm before the storm. In 4/5 days I will help her through labor and then it's sleepless night after sleepless night.....When we had our first we could do the whole sleep when the baby sleeps thing but I donno how this is going to go with the second. How do you experienced moms and dads survive multiple children?! Atleast I'm only taking two weeks off as work may become my sanctuary :P A two year old and a newborn is going to be a handful.....
  21. This is surprising. My buddy is a huge Hawks fan and he talked him up when we spoke last night. Said he logged big minutes and played well in the playoffs and that was using only one good arm as he tore up his elbow. Said he's tough as nails.
  22. Please don't shut down our beer appreciation thread
  23. You can buy them the night of. Sabres are advising you get there earlier than normal though as they are expecting lots of walk ups.
  24. You guys should be fine.
  25. Thanks guys.
