That's 11 confirmed and 2 debating. What do you want to cap it at? 15? 16 and have head to heads? And those that have a preference for which site to run off of should vote.

i'd be in to doing it. i usually do mine on yahoo, and forget about it by february, but i'd stick it out if it was with all of you.

you know, if we really wanted to, we could do neither yahoo or ESPN, and simply do all the stats and stuff by hand on the forum

(partially kidding)


I do like the idea of a draft thread on the forum, with a, lets say, 18-24h window for each pick, or until 4PM EST the day after the last pick,

If we added hits and block I'd be happy. Just makes the D a bit more useful

I'm sorry to do this, but upon further review, I'm going to have to remove myself from the list.

I know my personality and if the 1/3 of a season I ran my friend's fantasy football team is any indication I'll end up staying up all night obsessing over who to start in the next game and what moves to make before the trade deadline.

I get up too early in the a.m. and bring home too much work at night to let myself go there.

lets put a cap at 15 this year. that way everyone should be able to get 2 starting goalies. last year a couple people and myself ended up with back ups all year and it sucked.

if we do the draft its either going to be a live or auto. no drafts within SJ since if someone isnt on all that much and is in the league we might end up waiting a couple days on one pick. it would take to long. i have no problem doing a live draft again

The Junkies one didn't have a cap last year. But I agree...cap sucks.

_________________

hmmm, do I want to put myself through this again this year? I gave up 3/4 through the season since I had sucky goalies. Ended 17th out of 20.

_________________

How many people do we have? I'm going to bow out if it's over 12. There just aren't enough quality goalies to go around and at least 5 people will quit a minute after the draft because of it.

_________________

Looks like there are 10 definite. That doesn't include you and CV who are possibles

_________________

Can we make it 1 starting goalie? There's gotta be options for roster settings. That would allow us to up the cap on teams. Otherwise, I'd say 12 should be the max.

We can cap it right there (or up to 15) and run with 2 goalies, or we can play with 1 goalie to allow more teams. I wouldn't really want to go with 2 goalies and 15 teams, as some teams don't have a clear cut #1.

i say, whatever the cap is, lets make it an even number

whether we cap at 12 or at 15 wont really matter. The way the position system works is you can chose how many of each position you get points for (ie, 2 Centers, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4D, 2G) after that you pick how many bench players will be on the team (you dont get points for these players and the spots can be filled by any player regardless of position) so depending on how many bench players we have a person could stock up their bench with goalies and if they draft right be in possession of 3+ starting goalies. (Then theres the whole business about how many IR players you can have, trade deadline, moves per week, and other bull shit)

personally, i think 15 would be fine. teams that dont have a clear cut #1 make things interesting like whoever had Roloston before he was traded to Tampa hit the jack pot. same thing with whoever drafted Cory Crawford last year. This also gives people drafting the choice to try and draft towards specific stats. IE, use early picks for like Miller and Thomas at the cost of picking Sedin (doesnt matter which one) and Ovie to win the goalie stats and hope that third line centers and wingers can pull a good enough +/- to probably win each week. Or have a team that is loaded up front so you win G, A, +/-, etc and hope that a combo of whoever the fuck is Phoenix's goalie and Flordias goalies can hold it together long enough to get a decent Sv% and GAA.

I'd really like to do the SJ draft - if they're signing up on here, they should be in on the draft. We can start it next week...should be more than enough time.

_________________

I went ahead and created the team through yahoo. Its a 14 team head to head league. When you sign up you'll see the current set up. I can adjust most things up till the draft (stats, number of players, etc)

This is a first come first serve set up while i can add more teams if needed, the highest i would go is 16.

The draft is also going to be done live through yahoo at a date and time that works for the majority. If you can not make the draft, make sure you preset your picks since you will be autodrafted.


THE LEAGUE ID# IS 20609 AND THE PASSWORD IS junkies.
