Ill post rosters in a bit. Pretty happy so far. Would have liked a more solid RW, but my other forwards should help any deficit i have there. Wanted Kessel, though I cant complain when I got Seguin finally after all these seasons. Other than that things went well besides D. Really wanted Subban, but alas. Shit happens. Seems like every time I had planned on picking one, they were scooped.

Really pleased with my team. One or two guys who I wanted got snagged at the last second, and I may try to pursue them via trades. But overall, very satisfied.

Pretty damn solid team Habs.

Here is hoping McDavid has a big follow up year. I like that I got Subban and Weber(kinda funny considering they were traded for each other) but outside of that I'm not super stoked about my D.

So has everyone been participating in the league so far? There were a couple of guys who I think missed the draft and their teams are not looking too active. Just wondering if they have been playing.

 

[nightmare]

What is the deal with Yahoo IR ? I have two guys out, but cannot put them on IR. Had this issue last year. I get if they are listed DTD, but any classification other than that should be allowed to move them without having to completely drop players.

On another note, this season is fun & some damn fine hockey being played.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

I believe it has to be IR, then you can place them there. O is not Ir eligible unfortunately. I am in an ESPN pool where O makes you IR eligible, unfortunately Yahoo doesn't work that way.

 

[Lowdown]

That's one of the things I miss about playing on Fantrax. I could put up to three players on the IR list and sign players off the free agent pool until my guys were healthy.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

I just found out in a league that I am a commissioner in that there is an IR+ option that you can place DTD or Out players on. This may be something to consider.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Yeah, one of my goalies was was listed as out and I couldn't put him on IR until the team officially puts him on IR.

 

[Bagpipes]

Yahoo is garbage for fantasy sports. ESPN is much cleaner, simple things like checking stats, setting lineups, player info, historical stats, etc. are much easier to access on ESPN than Y!

 

[Lowdown]

It's something to consider for next year. I'm in a football league on ESPN, though we don't have it to where we can put our players on IR.

 

[nightmare]

Here is to hoping Palat gets off his ass & helps, since Stamkos is out for a bit. Dude has been kinda balls this season.

Who you tellin'? I got Stamkos.

 

[nightmare]

Yeah, but your team is doing fine while mine has seemingly shit the bed this week.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Congratulations Radical Canadian Goose. Another season down, another first time winner. Enjoyed this again this season, hopefully we can do it again next year.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Congrats, dude!

We'll definitely do it again next season. As long as everyone is in.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

Thanks, guys. It was a great season and you can count me in for next season. I have a championship to defend.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

...everyone in again?

 

[Lowdown]

...everyone in again?

I'm down. Hopefully I don't have to sleep through the draft again like last year.

 

[Bagpipes]

Yessir, I'm good to go.
