We do and it is weird the way Yahoo made some changes. (Personally I do not like the way they did.) So ....lets pretend Eller is out with an injury. If you click on Eller's roster position, then the 4th IR+ spot would "magically" appear. The first two IR spots show normally, but the other 2 IR spots are "hidden" (though they are actually there). Like I said, I DO NOT like the way Yahoo changed that. If you have a 3rd player eligible for IR, just click and drag that player to the IR spot..

But at that point it won't let me add without dropping and the player I have on IR reverts to his regular position (in this case it's Eichel). It sounds like it's an idiosyncrasy rather than my doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 @pilldoc @TropicalFruitGirl26 Thank you both. Yeah, that was what I was afraid of. I've put him in one of the phantom IR+ slots multiple times but he keeps going back. Not a big deal for this instance, but during season and things start falling off players, it could become interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, all my players are healthy so no way for me to test this, but I don't want to find out the hard way that something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 FIRST TRADE OF THE YEAR!! And i am certain that nobody is surprised that it is between @ruxpin and myself. RUX GETS Burns, Robert Thomas and Steutzle I GET larkin, Seth Jones and Cody Glass Rux niw has Carlson/Burns/Hamilton giving him the best trio on the back end in the league by far. The two kids, Thomas and Steutzle are on many lists for breakout candidates. For me I got Larkin, my favorite player with his tons of faceoffs and shots. Jones is okay, not a great fantasy player but not horrible. Cody Glass, i thought he would breakout last year but he bombed this year he is being forcefed into the 2c role in Vegas to sink or swim. Both of us got what we wanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of us got what we wanted. I'm comfortable. I'll need to find a crap ton of faceoff wins, but I'm comfortable. How many offers and counter offers did we go through combined? 20? More? From my end, Thomas made it happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 On the surface, this looks like a clear "win" for the Hell Bears. I mean, Burns and Thomas alone may pay dividends and whatever Stuertzle can contribute so early in his career would be gravy. Larkin is, of course, a fantastic up n coming player....I just question what he will be able to do this season still given the fact that the Wings, while improved, still have a LONG way to go before being contenders, and the team, as a whole simply wasn't good offensively OR defensively...thus Larkin may not have the support to put up the kind of numbers a player of his caliber is capable of. Of course, he seems to be turning into quite the face off monster... Seth Jones can be solid, but if we go head to head comparisons with Burns, #88 is still the proven commodity despite seemingly taking a step back last season. Cody Glass? Who knows. Maybe he is the Foil's version of Stuertzle...gravy contributions...or maybe he will be much, much more... While I do like what the Hell Bears get here, I STILL would not discount the Foil as their GM is savvy, thinks long term, and has a nasty habit (nasty for the rest of us), of coming up Aces when people think he has no winning hand. His players may turn things up a notch or three, or I can see him wheelin n dealing and turning an "ok" situation into a great one at some point during the season. Rux for the initial win. But Yave, as usual, may be lying in the weeds.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 We officially begin All Star Leagu FHL action today....and want to wish everyone good luck and fun during the season. Good luck to my opening opponent @pilldoc and his Ice Pigs. We have a long matchup to start and we will probably be sick of each other by the end of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last years stats you might have a slight edge in G/SOG but from a peripheral standpoint I think I edge you out. Goalies are I think Hellboy/Lehner slightly edges out Holtby and Varly.... Should be an excellent match .... Good Luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Well, against my gut I am starting Minnesota's Kaapo Kahkonen against the Colorado Avalanche. I am getting the feeling the Wild may not be up to facing down the Avs offense, but then again, I have Kaapo on my team, Minnesota sees the Avs for the next 4 games....I can't hide the young goalie forever. He doesn't even need to win tonight...just put up a good showing. Let's go Kahkonen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Welp... Braden Hole-By getting the ever living carp beat out of him by the Montreal Canadiens. As of this posting, he is down 5-1 midway through the game, sporting a svelte 9.88 GAA and a sizzling .750 Sv%.....what a way to start the goaltending cats for the Green Star Blades..... The Sharknadoticons are salivating all over this...... IF they can get any goalies to start for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Trade to report: Puttin On The Foil get: LW- Brady Tkachuk D- Nate Schmidt Green Star Blades get: LW/RW- Jason Zucker D- Darnell Nurse Tkachuk of course, is both @yave1964 and my type of player... I.E. the guy hits on many categories. Darnell Nurse is steadily becoming that as well, but from the blue line and while Darnell lacks in face offs (obviously), he makes up for in blocked shots. Hoping Jason Zucker gets it going once again....honestly, he is a MUCH better player than he has shown since being traded over to the Penguins. At his best, he will provide offense, shots, some hitting, and because he is a bit of an agitator, some PIMs as well. The Pens have their problems right now, particularly in defense and goal, but up front, the talent is too good to be held down for too much longer. Nate Schmidt is a classic example of the unspectacular player that sneakily does a bit of this and a bit of that. None of what he does is at the high end of anything, but the fact he does many things relatively well should be enough to keep him on most rosters in this league..... it is why he was on my team. Shots, blocks, some scoring, and is usually on the plus side of the +/- category. Even if the secondary players don't work out for one or both sides, I think both GM's walk away happy with their new forward (Tkachuk) and defenseman (Nurse). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 1-14-3 in my matchup against the Halifax Sharkienados Lost games due to PPD dates, Covid protocols....but bottom line was, my goalies, outside of Chris Dreidger, got blown up, and my offense and perhipherals weren't anywhere near where they needed to be. Oh well. We all have that one week or two that we just completely flush down the toilet....this was mine. At least I was sitting pretty high up in the number one seat so my losses won't bury me, just bring some teams past me a bit. As long as it doesn't happen in the playoffs.....
