[Thriller Ant]

I've always preferred ESPN, but it seems like all of the leagues I'm in are on Yahoo

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Doesn't seem we're gonna get the desired 12 teams without that extra body to allow IC to join.

My suggestion is we just cap this at 10 this year and push to twelve next season if there's a demand.

 

[hatehabsforever]

As much as I'd love to see IC rejoin the league, I'd be perfectly fine with 10. Truthfully, I think 10 is the perfect number, better than 12 in my opinion.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm just gonna go ahead and cap it. We're full up this year.

 

[nightmare]

I should start doing some homework. This is right around the corner.

 

[nightmare]

I suck at life. Gonna have to research tonight. Sunday is close.

I forget, random order for draft or what is the deal?

 

[hatehabsforever]

As I recall it, a random draft order which is not released until draft day, just before the thing begins.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Random order draft.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Reminder, draft is tomorrow night!

 

[hatehabsforever]

Hopefully everyone is around for the draft tonight. Sucks when teams are auto drafted.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Live draft is just a few minutes away! Be sure to post your line-ups here after.

Damn. Totally spaced on the time. Got there before too much damage was done & will post teams in a bit. Would have liked a pick or two back, considering I got Folgino autodraft. Price was a good one tho, but im very leery about Rask. Other than that ill probably be crossing my fingers a few choices work out, but we will see.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

Kind of happy with my team. Considering it was my fourth draft in the last three days, my brain didn't go all mushy which is good. I went young for the most part, but, should be alright.

G- Braeden Holtby, Jaroslav Halak, Jimmy Howard
D- Keith Yandle, Aaron Ekblad, Christian Ehrhoff, Dion Phaneuf, Niklas Hjalmarrson (picked by accident lol)
F - Tyler Johnson, Connor McDavid, Jamie Benn, Johnny Gaudreau, Jakub Voracek, Tomas Tatar, Gustav Nyqvist, Jack Eichel, Ondrej Palat, Alex Galchenyuk, Nail Yakupov, Justin Williams

Hey, I'd be more than willing to help you unload Mr. Rask, if you have any interest in doing so.

Carey Price Mon - G
Tuukka Rask Bos - G
Jonas Hiller Cgy - G




If Hiller keeps the top spot for Calgary and Rask manages to stay his better self despite the lacking Bruins defense, then they both should help Price give me a good stand in goal.

My defense is depressing to me for some reason despite looking decent enough. While I again grabbed Karlsson, I hope the rest can prove me wrong.

I have some good forwards, but am wrecked that I again could not pick up Benn\Seguin or any of my Penguins. Marleau worries me if plays hot\cold again & Folgino is only going to help if he stays paired with his line from last year. Even that is still iffy. Only two I am not sold on are Smith and Callahan, but keeping them as subs in case of production jumps should do me fine. Just really would like a standout top forward is my main gripe.

 

[nightmare]

I could be swayed, but you know who I am gonna want.

 

[hatehabsforever]

I could be swayed, but you know who I am gonna want.

If you are interested in trading a current Bruin for a former one, there's no chance in hell. He's one of my few guys who is untouchable.

Send me an offer for Benn. I love the guy but nobody is untouchable for the right price.
