  1. That sounds good to me. We want anyone to join but the only real commitment we ask is you spend atleast an hour or two on your lineup each week. I'm in a couple of leagues with buddies and prefer the Sabrespace one the best because the league is very competitive. All owners are very active making waiver claims etc. We actually have it where if you are a deadbeat owner you are automatically tossed out next year. Once we get the leagues established and figured out details in here I will move it over to the group section with two topics. I love that feature. Just don't want anyone to miss it by not thinking to look in that area.
  2. Ok guys, what do you think? I'm in favor of having the leagues connected and go with the Winner's League and Relegation League each year. What say all of you? We have 12 in the original league, looking at demand it wouldn't surprise me to have either 10 or 12 in the other league. Could go with the top 4 (playoff teams) in relegation make it to the winners league the following year. Bottom 4 within the Winners League would then fall to the Relegation League the following season. I would be happy to keep a spreadsheet going of everyone that is in and help organize the league changes each year. Eleven, you could start off moderating the Relegation League full of losers :) if you want and we can coordinate the changes down the road? Any other suggestions would be welcomed. I hope everyone could read the commissioners speech above through all the booing.
  3. Wow, just realized JuJuFish has won the league the last 3 straight years and was runner up in the inaugural season. Well done sir. Anyways, below is the list of those that are in the original league and should have first crack at it: North Buffalo has already confirmed in for next year Norcal (formerly Murray's Rats) is back in Taro was first on the wait list and is in. Unfortunately Dennis was last place and was therefore eliminated (but back on wait list) Here are the others that are welcome back if they want in again: TrueBlue, Wyldnwoody, Ink, Thorny, Wildcard, Hank, JuJuFish, North Buffalo and Pi On the Wait list/could be part of league 2: JSB, Eleven, SDS, Gilbert11, Dennis Anyone interested in either league, let's hear from you to confirm you are back in (or want in). Question is, do the leagues go completely different (if new one is Keeper I would also like in the second league) or have them related (ex. winner league and relegation league)? If it's the later I propose we try and keep the rules and platform similar.
  4. If the keeper league doesn’t work we also discussed having the second league become a relegation league. The bottom x number of people would drop to the relegation league for the next season and top x amount from relegation would move up to winners league. That’s would take some coordination but could be fun. Just spitballing some ideas.
  5. Nfl.com Sure. I've always wanted to do a keeper. I wouldn't mind joining if there is room. We discussed having keeper in the other league but it got voted down ?
  6. Hahahhahhaha that’s awesome!
  7. Link didn’t seem to work for me but is that a sabres zombie?? No need to stick with football theme I don’t think. I would prefer something sabres related. If it’s anything like this https://www.fanatics.com/buffalo-sabres-thematic-zombie-figurine-gnome/p-12397044375027+z-9117-2858822490 then yes lol.
  8. Yep your in taro. I mean I do owe you for the drive back from the sabrespace night. Also, anyone in last year that wants back in the original has a spot. Anyone on wait list or wants in post away and we will get this second league going as well. I will set it up over the next couple of weeks. I absolutely love this trophy idea (despite having to see trues name on there as a past winner). I’m honestly not sure of the logistics of how it could be handelled but we’re a pretty close group despite being internet strangers so I would think it could work.
  9. Yep. Two leagues it shall be. We were considering it last year but it didn’t work out. Certainly enough demand to make 2. edit - especially if there’s a trophy lol.
  10. I certainly will be running it again this year. I'll give it another week or two for the dog days of summer to set in when hockey news is scarce. Then I will get a count of who's back and who can be added. Will let ya know. In fact, if demand is really high this year I may go with two leagues similar to the blue and gold fantasy hockey leagues.
  11. Don't we already have one of those?
  12. Oh Eklund.......missed again.....
  13. I would switch Berglund with Sobotka but I don't mind this lineup.
  14. Good question. Going to have to think on this one. Also, nice to have you back Hoss.
  15. I know how bad we are. But does Karlsson give any thought to Buffalo with Dahlin here? I know that's wishful thinking but that would turn this franchise around real fast.
  16. I think it's a bit of both. We were very high on Bailey and Baptiste and look how they're turning out. Way too early to tell at this point. My other, larger point, was yes he's hit on some players but he's had more high end picks than most GM's. Most GM's aren't picking consecutively second overall with multiple extra second and third round picks. He should have a higher hit success rate with more selections.
  17. This is an interesting point. It was around when PHam was whining about Reinhart not staying late to practice with ROR when he turned it around iirc. Unless I'm misremembering the timeline.
  18. Ok I'll take a shot at ranking the top 12: 1. Dahlin 2. Mitts 3. Guhle 4. Thompson 5. Asplund 6. Olofsson 7. Samuelsson 8. Nylander 9. Davidsson 10. Borgen 11. Pu 12. UPL
  19. I do really like what JBott has done on D. That Scandella trade was very savy. He missed on Beaulieu. I know he lucked into Dahlin but this D actually looks promising moving forward.
  20. Eichel was billed to be the savior but Dahlin may be the one to follow through. I really want to believe the second half of last season was Eichel growing up. Get a mature Eichel and already mature Dahlin mixed in with an ultra competitive Mittelstadt and let's friggen go. I'm done with the cutsie double-rider bike rides coming into training camp.
  21. Sure. But he was also handed much more picks and high end picks than most. Most GM's aren't picking 2nd overall two years in a row. Those should be guaranteed NHL players. That team was stripped down for future draft picks before he got there. He ended up with 3 high end second round picks in 2014 and missed on two (Cornell and Karabacek) and the jury is still out on Lemieux. The 2014 draft was nearly a complete disaster. Reinhart was second overall and outside of that he may end up with a steal in Oloffson in the 7th round. Otherwise he had 6 picks in the first 3 rounds and missed on everyone except 2nd overall.
  22. How many years until Reinhart is UFA? Is it 5 or 6 more years? If that's the case, nfw am I doing a 6 year deal. I'm going 2 x 4.5 or I'm going with NS prediction.
  23. I don't know how his actual goaltending ability will be but man he's has a 180 difference in attitude/personality to Lehner.
  24. Yep, easily could be this. Terry seems to have little concern buying out and paying other bad contracts but this could be the principle of the situation.
