A new Fantasy Hockey season deserves a new FHL Thread.

 

I am officially opening up the new All Star League thread.

 

Good Luck to all!

Note about the draft .....

 

Notes

Select the month, then the day and time you want your live draft. Not all times will be available.

All draft times are shown in PDT.

Important: Head-to-Head leagues which draft on Wednesday, Oct 3 or later will miss fantasy Week 1, which runs Wednesday, Oct 3 - Sunday, Oct 14. These leagues will start scoring in the next full fantasy week after their draft.

The first day of regular season games is Wednesday, Oct 3.

 

Therefore we MUST have the Draft before Oct. 3rd. 

Also the scoring for the 1st week will run from Oct 3rd through Oct. 14th.

 

My proposal is to have the Draft either Saturday, September 29th or Sunday, September 30th.  My suggestion is around 4 pm in afternoon and allow for about 2 hours.

If we can avoid September 30, that'd be great. But if that's what works for everyone else, that's fine. I auto-drafted last year and I was actually happy with it, so... 

 

Once I have all the GM's confirmed for All Star, we can come up with a mutual consensus for all.

Ok so we have all the members of the All Star League Set.  If you have not confirmed your team in YAHOO yet, please do so, so that I can finalize the league.  We also need to pick a Draft Date.  The 2 days I am proposing are either:

 

  • Saturday, September 29th @ 4:00 pm EST (we could move it earlier in afternoon around 2 pm or later in evening  ~6 pm)
  • Sunday, Sepember 30th @ 4:00 pm EST (we could move it earlier in afternoon around 2 pm or later in evening ~6 pm)

 

Using the poll above, please choose a date.  Majority wins.  Please vote ASAP so I can make the change in in YAHOO.

 

Thanks!

I voted flexible.

Truly, my home life is a bit upside down right now, slowly settling, so most things I am just doing as they come.
I DO want to play fantasy hockey with you guys because its my calm space away from my sometimes hectic life, so I am willing to just go with whatever the majority decides.

I believe I did that last year too.
Just saw what most wanted and just made it a point to be available for that day and time.

And @pilldoc I haven't, as of this posting done anything on the Yahoo page, but I will get to it. 
I am just now getting around to Rad's invite and the NAHANA league (keepers ya know!! lol)….but you are next on my 'confirmation'...definitely count me as being in!

Good luck to everyone this year.
Let's have another fun one!

😉

Thanks, Doc.

I'm in Central, so I will mark down on my planner, Sun, Dec 30, 5pm for me.
That should be doable.....I want to add "length of time"...should we figure 1.5 - 2 hrs to be enough for everyone to draft through all the rounds, or should we be done significantly sooner than that?

Just looking for a ballpark time frame....either way, thanks again, and count me and the Green Star Blades in on draft day!
:ahappy:

I think the time zone is in your yahoo settings.  My Yahoo drafts says EST.  So it probably is a good idea to check

Ok...probably too early to "Crow", but I rather like the look of my team to start this season.

A real cross section of players from around the league (except Ottawa....no way you can get me to draft a Senator... lol....JK...maybe..)

Pure Centers
Jon Toews, Chi

Paul Stastny, VGK
Brayden Point, TBL

RW with C eligibility
Leon Draisaitl, Edm
Joe Pavelski, SJS
Charlie Coyle, Min

LW with C eligibility
Nick Schmaltz, Chi

Dual LW, RW
Travis Konecny, Phi
Jakub Vrana, Wsh

 

Pure Wingers on a single side
Pat Maroon (LW), StL
Brendan Gallagher (RW), Mon
Patric Hornqvist (RW), Pit

Defense
Victor Hedman, TBL

Dustin Byfuglien, Wpg
Shea Theodore, VGK
Mikhail Sergachev, TBL
Nikita Zadorav, Col

Goaltending
Tuuka Rask, Bos
Martin Jones, SJS

Aaron Dell, SJS


Everything is, of course, barring injury or unforeseen declines...
But I think I have peripherals such as FOW, Hits, Blocks, PIMs, and +/- covered pretty well.

Goals and Assists should be decent at even strength, though actual PP goals MAY be a problem, maybe do alright with PPA.

 

My goalies are good and are backstopping what should be contending teams.
Rask has the always defensive minded Bruins in front of him, and I get all the Sharks starts this year with the tandem of Martin/Dell....sorry for all you Dell streamers (I know he was popular for that), but he is now married to Martin.... hehehe.

Sharks and Bruins defense could possibly allow for better GAA and the possibility for shut outs....as well as the win totals being pretty good also.

But, as they say, we shall see.
EVERYONE is a Cup contender during preseason....and EVERYONE has a plan till they get checked hard into the boards, right?...…   :shifty:

I get a real good test against a savvy GM my first week (that long week right? haha) in @yave1964 's Foil team.

Let's get this season started!!

What manner of hell did my autodraft come from. 

 

I'm telling you, it did absolutely nothing I'd set it up to do. Players on my list were available and it took others and then drafts people specifically on my "do not draft" list.  What kind of brain damaged imbecile takes Mrazek? Even for a robot? 

 

Sweet Jesus

Lol no. It did okay with centers, but I had it set for goalies...who were still sitting there and it picked centers.  I mean seriously, it didn't pick a second goalie (term used loosely) until the 16th round when it was my priority. 

 

It's just weird is all.

That is odd.   I just looked at two GM's that auto drafted.  HJ's is skewed with 7 D-men.  And the other looks perfectly fine.

Yeah, odd. 

 

I'm not so much complaining as just a, "what the hell was that?" 

 

I can't complain much about the centers. And the wingers are decent.  The defense looks like I autodrafted. 

 

You should have seen my draft rankings, though. My honest to god concern was that I'd end up with too many goalies and Lehtera at center. Lol

 

It's odd it went to centers with goalies on my list sitting there.  It just means to correct it I may have to get into centers.

Overall, I was pleased with my draft. In my first three picks, I got the best LW in the league (IMO-Marchand), a top notch goalie (Hellebuyck), and a guy who I am convinced will have a great year getting a fresh start on a really good team in San Jose (Karlsson). I am a little concerned that I reached a bit by picking up Kovalchuk where I did, but I hope he still has a lot of goals left in him. We'll see what happens on the ice, but I think this is my most well-balanced team to date. Any constructive criticism? I can take it. 😁
