Start thinking about who you are keeping. You must have one keeper from each position (C, LW, RW, D, & G) listed by the end of the season. All players from round 4 on are eligible.

Forgot to add:

Use this thread to keep and edit your list.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

We're already declaring keepers?

[Sparty]

I've been thinking about this and the keeper system we set up won't really work.

Most of us drafted two goalies in the first three rounds. I don't think we should be forced to keep the shitty goalie we drafted in round 10.

So I think we need a solution to this issue.

[Evil Scotty]

you have all season to change it.

[Sparty]

Huh?

[Evil Scotty]

your keepers are for the 2008 draft.

So why declare now? What's the difference?

And GM is right, maybe we should just keep any 5 players drafted after the 4th round.

[Evil Scotty]

so pick keepers for the beginning of this season, that's fine be me.

[Sparty]

We are not on the same page here.

I'm saying, at the end of this season because most of us drafted two goalies in the first three rounds, I don't think we should be forced to keep the shitty goalie we drafted in round 10 because we have to keep a player from every position.

[Sparty]

In fact, why not change it to C, LW, RW, D, Util?

[Evil Scotty]

I miss read Sally's post.

Sparty use this thread or don't to list your keepers you'll have till the end of the season to make your picks.

Sally, I thought people might want to use this thread to list/edit there keepers. no one has to post there list until the end of the season.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

OK I was confused for a second.

Still doesn't solve the player at every position problem GM brought up.

[DevSop]

And why by the end of the season...as long as it's done a month before the draft, we should be good. It also gives us time after the season to trade keepers for picks and things like that.

So wait...everybody knew going in that they couldn't declare a pick in the first 3 rounds as a keeper....and this is somehow unfair?

Why?

Because people forgot this was a keeper league while they were drafting?

I specifically didn't draft 2 goalies within the first 3 rounds because of the keeper restrictions. The rules were clearly laid out before the draft. I don't think we should be changing them now.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Worst case scenario you keep the crappy goalie, draft more the next season and then drop him to start the year. Or pick up a Free Agent Goalie before the season ends that you think will be a nice cheap keeper. It really shouldn't be too big of a problem.

I'm with Fish.

And for the record, only Gimick, his friend Sanman, and Scotty drafted two goalies in the first three rounds. That's a quarter. That's quite a long way from most


It's not the rules fault you went insane

[Evil Scotty]

I picked up a quality goalie that I wanted to keep.

[Sparty]

Yeah, I could've swore that more than three had done that. But I'd rather have Ryan Whitney as a keeper than Kari Lethonen, so I'll just live with the conseqences of that.

Although, I do liken it this way (just an example I came up with):

If we had the same type of rule-set in fantasy football and we had to keep a running-back, would everyone avoid drafting a RB in the first three rounds? No, because the RB spot is the most important, point-producing spot on your team. I think of goalies the same way. If you have two sounds goalies, you should win all the goalie categories every week.

I know I did a shitty job of explaining that there, but I hope you guys at least get what I'm trying to say.

[BFG]

Man....if only there was a time when w were making up rules for the league. It's almost like THAT would have been the time to complain that goalies are gods!!!

Hell, I picked Phaneuff (sp?) specifically because I want to keep him for years to come...almost as if the rules had been explained to me and I picked around them.

[Sparty]

Do you not know how to fucking read or is it just your number one goal in life to be the biggest dickhead possible?

If you read the entire thing (and this was at the top, no less), you'd find out that I conceded the point/"argument" with this:

"But I'd rather have Ryan Whitney as a keeper than Kari Lethonen, so I'll just live with the conseqences of that."

And then just went on to explain a certain line of thought I had that, yes, would've been a good thing to think of a month ago. And yeah, I know the fucking rules. I even read them.

KICK HIS ASS SEA BASS!

No, I don't know how to read. My posts are all entered in by my pet Chupacabra. And I'm hoping that the large head on my dick makes the large shaft and testicles look normal.

Or maybe I'm just tired of people in this league bitching about the rules. I don't cae if it's in jest, or as a "oh yeah the rules are in place and I live it....however" sort of way.

Just shut up. If you want the rules to be changed, bring it up AFTER the season at the proper time.

Till then, fear my awesome defense featuring th 280th pick overall, Mr. Hal Gill.
