What are the keeper rules?

You must select 8 keepers from your roster. The deadline to select your keepers is Sunday, October 5.

In other news, I received payment from snookerstar and we are ready to go! The first trade of the year to be announced sends Kyle Okposo to Peter's North Stars and Jimmy Howard to Bay St. Bankers. It looks like we can't trade using Yahoo, but if you have an agreement with another team, send me a PM and I will swap the players on your roster. If you would like to negotiate, here is a complete list of teams & owners:

DontDoItPls - Let's Getz It Goin!
Hicktricks - Eric Lindros' Brain
holmfries - Peter's North Stars
ovie - ovie
dia - Graz 99ers
snookerstar - The Lady McCarthers
easternbloc - Graboner Rising
cwicemvp12 - Citizen Kane
aislephive - Crimson Day
El Rata - Habsolute Ownage
khaos4k - Bay St. Bankers
PatInTheHat - Figjam

Hicktricks and easternbloc are friends of mine who may not be active on 2+2 as much as the rest of us, so just let me know if you want to propose a trade to them. Conversely, you can also send them an email from the managers page.

I'll be sending PMs with instructions for those who still owe league fees soon. Looking forward to another fun year, good luck!

Is draft time confirmed?

I have an extra spot in a keeper league... no entry fee but i put up a $200 free for first if anyone wants the spot. You would be taking over a team from last year. Msg me

Yes, it's Tuesday Oct 7 at 7PM ET.

In other news, I'm putting Joe Pavelski and Ben Bishop on the block. Let me know if interested!

Lundquist on the block

TRADE ANNOUNCED:

Eric Lindros' Brain trades Erik Karlsson and their 1st Round Draft Pick to Citizen Kane for Joe Pavelski and Drew Doughty

Deal done:

Couture for Lundy

Deal Done:

Brandon Saad for Kari Lehtonen

Was there another piece in this deal? I see Subban got shuffled around

I had offered the trade for both Karlsson and Subban, and mistakenly dropped Subban when they instead wanted to trade Karlsson.

I confirm this trade and I ask you guys now how terrible do you think it was?
I got Saad for Lehtonen

Does anyone know if my league does a draft on Tuesday night if the league will be ready to play on Wednesday? I hear there's sometimes a delay to get things started.

I don't think it should be a problem, we drafted pretty close to the start of the season last year, iirc

Wanted to post some tentative changes for this year. These are minor changes that I've made and will keep unless there is a ton of objection. Feel free to post your thoughts:

1. I've eliminated the divisions and randomized the schedule since divisions are rather pointless anyway. The six best teams during the regular season will make the playoffs.

2. I've changed one of the IR spots to IR+, which encompasses day-to-day players. Since players can be held out of games and retroactively placed on IR in the NHL, this keeps you from getting boned if a player is DTD for a week before he hits the IR list. We had some discussion about this last season, but ultimately the rule wasn't changed because we were in the middle of the year. If you'd like both spots to be IR+, speak up and I'll make that change if there's an overwhelming majority.

If there are any other rule changes you'd like to see, feel free to post them here for discussion and feedback.

I think you should have taken Okposo

dia is too smart to fall for your tomfoolery

Are we allowed to trade for draft picks?

Yep.

Hell yes

So there is a draft to fill your team back up after keepers?
