Let's keep the conversation about this years primary league here.


So far we have 10 signed up. The two that aren't there from last season are ferris and C2M. C2M has told me he is extremely busy right now and prefers not to be in it. If ferris doesn't show, we may go with 10 and use the second league, if there's enough interest. We can cross that bridge when we come to it.

12 teams is the maximum.


Also, I have set the IR spots to 2. I've made no other changes to last years settings. I did schedule a draft, but obviously that will need to be revised if the contract talks keep going on.

We need to work on the draft time too. I say we start no later than 8:00 pm if it turns out to be an evening draft.

I'm on board with that. 7:30 or 8PM. We'll look for a day that makes sense. I don't know if it's worth trying to get the draft in while we can. There may be some roster moves that occur and I have no idea what all this European and KHL stuff is going to do to player availability. I a

I assume they'll all come back if the NHL and NHLPA solves their labor issues.

When I restarted the league, I chose Saturday, September 29th at 9PM as the draft. Obviously, that can be rescheduled.

BTW, I just pinned this topic in the General Discussion Forum, to make it easy to find.

I've moved the draft to Wednesday October 10th at 7:30PM. The regular season is currently scheduled to start on Oct.11th, but we all know that's in serious jeopardy.

[BladesofSteel71]

Do you guys need anyone else?

Definitely under consideration. I've moved the draft out until October 10th so we have some time to kick it around. And the NHL and NHLPA may have more to say about that.

Are we seriously gonna carry on with the draft not knowing what's gonna happen?

Could end up with a lot of picks getting dealt, projections and/or lines changing, etc.

It's not hard to pull together ten guys. Why don't we wait until there is word of an actual season?

It's a moving target right now Pen0r. I agree with you. I just pushed it out until the very edge of the "scheduled" start of the regular season. If they don't have an agreement by then (which they probably won't), I'll move it out again. I guess I can probably completely cancel it for now.

[Badger Bob]

OK, I just changed the draft to October 17th at 7:45PM. Yahoo does not allow rescheduling past that date. At least as of today, it doesn't. I may need to recreate the league if we end up against that hard stop and they don't allow me to schedule past that date. Or maybe it might allow me to keep pushing the date out as time goes on. We'll see.

Yahoo is very proactive at updating and rescheduling. I can't see there being any problem.

One thing I've come to depend on: That you can't depend on Yahoo.
