My team is just too nice.
Some housekeeping and rules discussion:
We still need four more teams to sign up. I'm going to set the deadline for previous owners to re-join as Friday, September 20. I'm also going to set this as the PayPal payment deadline. This gives us a week to fill the remaining teams and make any last-second roster trades/adjustments before our keeper deadline, which I set as Saturday, September 28. Our draft is currently set for Monday, September 30 at 8:15 ET.
The draft order is as following:
1. Khaos4k - Bay St. Bankers
2. holmfries - Peter's North Stars
3. Wallypop - Eric Lindros' Brain
4. dia - Graz 99ers
5. ovie - ovie
6. DontDoItPls - Neal Before Me
7. El Rata - Habsolute Ownage
8. aislephive - The Sidney Crosbys Suck
9. nutshot2/Vagos - Flyers > Rangers, Bruins
10. cwicemvp12 - Citizen Kane
11. easternbloc - Holtbeast
12. PatInTheHat - Pimpin' Ain't Parise
The first pick is awarded to the winner of the consolation bracket each season, and the subsequent picks are set using the NHL style of draft ordering.
Possible Rules Amendments:
There was a lot of talk last year about the minimum number of goalie starts per week, which was set at four for the season. With the schedule less condensed this year, I figure we'll drop that number to three.
There was also some opposition to saves as a goalie category, the argument being that it would favor the team with the most starts. I personally was a fan of the saves category over wins, since wins can select for bad goalies on good teams whereas saves selects for the better goaltender since they'll be playing more often. I would not be opposed to adding wins as a goalie category, but wouldn't like it to be at the expense of removing saves.
Reading back through the thread, there was also some talk about two week playoff match-ups, but as of now I don't see a way that this would be feasible through Yahoo's settings.
