A reminder that JD said my draft was boring and unimpressive, as well as my team not being a threat.

I think we should bet on this.

If you missed it, that happened on IHOP 104: 12 Years an IHOP, which is available now at flawedcast.net/IHOP, as well as on iTunes and Stitcher.

It's on.

BTW.... Mats Zuccarello (RW-NYR) is on the trading block. Let me know if you need a RW.

FYI re: the four rookies who got drafted and their pending availability for roster inclusion, from ESPN:

Rookies will be placed on the waiver wire / free agency either prior to the start of the season or after their first official game played.

Fucking ESPN. Get your shit together.



(Moderator fail. I accidentally edited Hodgey's post instead of just quoting him). Carry on.

"Opening Night tonight. Set your rosters.

FYI... ESPN seems particularly clueless this year, as they don't have added positional eligibility established yet; something that should have been taken care of prior to the draft. And it doesn't appear they are any closer to fixing it. I propose leaving ESPN for another site next year."

This should have been posted on a forum where we could discuss it...

I would like to say that I am 100% for moving it from ESPN. We all know that they don't care about hockey at all. They always seem to have the rosters incorrect or at least they have the positions incorrect. I would say that we move it over to Yahoo as they get their positions straight from the NHL website, so if they are wrong it's Bettman's fault.

Yahoo has a horrible interface and I'm not sure what the issue is with positional eligibility.

[The Canadian Content]

ESPN was just fine last year. We're not moving. I'm pretty sure it's in their FAQ somewhere that a player has to play a certain number of games at a position before they're eligible at it.

I agree with Sop that Yahoo's interface is terrible.

And opening night was Wednesday.

[Cliffsnotes]

The LM Note was posted on Wednesday, I believe. If not, fuck that guy.

Yeah, the Yahoo interface was horrible. However, I am 99% sure that ESPN had the positions up well before the season started last year.

[otfsquared]

From ESPN:

"POSITION ELIGIBILITY

Before each season begins ESPN will determine the primary position of every NHL player available in the game. The criteria will primarily be the past year's playing time. This includes rookies as well as veterans. The listed primary positions are fixed and will not change for the duration of the season.


NOTE: In custom leagues the League Manager CANNOT change the listed position of any player in the game.



Rookies will be placed on the waiver wire / free agency either prior to the start of the season or after their first official game played."

So if they are wrong at the beginning of the season they are wrong the whole season. I don't know about Yahoo's interface it has been several years since I played a yahoo fantasy game. I just think they are better with the positions that they list when looking at them.

[Cliffsnotes]

I'm looking to acquire a goalie. Doesn't need to be a blockbuster deal. Let me know if you have one available.

[panicfan68]

I'm looking to move a center, preferably Statsny or possibly Backes... Looking for RW or D. Now accepting offers.

[Cliffsnotes]

NOTE: The NHL Trade Deadline is a week from today: Monday, March 2nd. The Fantasy Hockey Trade Deadline is three days later: Thursday, March 5th, at noon.

Also, I have updated the 2015 Draft Pick Board. Please double check any trades involving your team.

The draft order is current as of the league standings today (but subject to change based on playoff performance) - so BVA (TV4V) would have the first pick of the draft, and MC RT (CHOP) would have the final pick of the first round.
