LGP Fantasy Hockey Keeper League

[Kraftster]

I thought when I got back from my late lunch I'd be up in the draft. le sigh

[Pitts]

I thought we'd have a round done by now...I've been ready all day. Even got beerman, bhaw's and Troy loney's info to keep it rolling along.

[Corvidae]

Datsyuk and/or Zoidderberg available. Looking for a pick + player combo (or some such package).

Zoidberg?



woop woop woopwooop

...but everyone knows the Zoidberg-Kraken died in the oil spill.

[Corvidae]

I don't care for snake drafts in keeper leagues after the first year. But then again, my team stinks.

[Kraftster]

I tend to agree depending on the number of keepers. Six is sort of in an in between area. 4 I think is definite snake draft (12 teams' best 4 are going to be very close, so the advantage conferred on the bad teams is too great). 8 (next year in this league) I tend to think should be non-snake. 10 (2012), I will definitely advocate for a non-snaking draft at that point.

[Kraftster]

Where's it at Pitts? I actually don't have a pick decided on despite all this time, haha. I will do that now.

[Letang Is The Truth]

F you pitts

[Pitts]

F you pitts

Seriously?? LOL - he was the best goalie on the table! And I needed a good one after being burned by Huet last year.

I just sent beerman a text.

EDIT: I thought beerman was up next -- he told me he's not -- sorry.

[Letang Is The Truth]

i was hoping he was gonna make it back to me. i actually thought he would cuz everyone had a solid goalie situation between my picks (cept you )

[Pitts]

He-he -- I'm too smart 4 U!

[Pitts]

I spent about an hour and half late last night going through nhl.com rankings and just placing available players that I liked on a list. I at least have that so when my pick comes, I can take the best available left on my board.

Looks like I made a smart pick with my first!

[Kraftster]

Woo, we are on a roll. Haven't seen Idoit today, though.

Good call. It isn't too bad now but with 10 keepers it would be tough to ever fix your team (hint to bhaw in the ESPN league - have mercy on the Kazaam!). The rookie rule (2 free ineligible rookie keeps for non playoff teams as opposed to 1) also helps a little.

[Pitts]

It's actually not too late to change the draft order...jus' saying. I don't really mind dropping the snake idea.

[Kraftster]

I think we ought to look at it next year with 8 keepers for sure. I'd say we let it ride this year.

[Corvidae]

I'm obviously biased here in my support, but I think we should definitely consider it for next year.

[TheHammer24]

I have my picks. Who wants my picks if I take off? I have three players.

[Corvidae]

Take off? Are you leaving the country and giving your picks away? I'll take them.

[Kraftster]

Ouch. That was my next pick. Was worried hammer might take EJ.

[TheHammer24]

Ouch. That was my next pick. Was worried hammer might take EJ.

These were my picks from the 3rd pick on. Would not have taken EJ.

[Kraftster]

Bah!! All I wanted was to be able to "welcome back" Nate Horton if Neal went. Boo.

Hammer, you wouldn't have taken EJ would you? I know Idoit wouldn't have...

[Kraftster]

Well, I have Green, EJ, Karlsson, Bogosian, so, I can focus on forwards for a loong time.

[TheHammer24]

Bah!! All I wanted was to be able to "welcome back" Nate Horton if Neal went. Boo.

Hammer, you wouldn't have taken EJ would you? I know Idoit wouldn't have...

Nope. Stastny was the only guy in which I was interested other than these two after Corv and KS picked.

Two risky picks though. Those kind of moves paid off last year, we'll see about this one.

[TheHammer24]

You should have gone horton, EJ-would have landed them then.

[Pitts]

Wow...can;t sneak anything through with all yinz! Guess I'm up....
