On a different note, has anyone downloaded the new yahoo fantasy app on iPhone? I did, and it's only letting me register for fantasy foozball, while the hockey option is greyed out. Any of you guys seeing the same thing?
Looks like Yahoo has fixed the issue. And they have made the app available to Australians now too. (Previously it would give you a message saying this is not available in your country).

Glad they got their act together. Not long to go now.

Btw, doofdoof, did you ever find out if trades will be reflected in the teams before the draft? There are a number of us who are looking to mark certain players as keepers that we've traded for in the last few weeks.

Marns, we might have to wait to after the keeper deadline (Sept 27) to see if we can assign a keeper that is currently on another team.

If you have you keeper list finalised, you can post it on this thread on the forum to assist the commissioners to finalise the team list.

I will do my keepers now and I've put a couple of placeholders who I would of kept if I didn't make any trades:

1. Jason Spezza
2. Jeff Carter
3. Milan Lucic
4. Dustin Byfuglien
5. Mikko Koivu
6. Cory Schneider
7. Bobby Ryan (Pending trade for 4th round pick - Brent Burns is my placeholder)
8. Steve Mason (Pending trade for Jon Huberdeau - Radim Vrbata is my placeholder)

Rookies (I have an extra rookie keeper slot)
1. Jonathan Drouin
2. Mikael Granlund
3. John Gibson
4. Jake Allen (This might change by Sept 27 - I would prefer Reilly Smith but is currently unsigned)

I think on draft day, if not before, once all players are 'purged', we can put specific players onto teams in the keeper slots

When is the draft anyway? Have we set the date?

It's looking like one of Brad Marchand or Scott Hartnell having to go from my team - both 50+ point players with a pile of PIM's too.

Also, others on the outer likely to include :
Jarome Iginla (30 goals and 61pts last season)
Matt Moulson (50+ pts)
Cam Fowler & Mike Green (both near 40pts Defencemen)

Any offers?? - trade of picks suits me best.....

Commissioners - League is still showing as finishing on April 11th, which is last day of the regular season.....weren't we going to change the playoffs so as to avoid this? (ie. bring them forward by one week)
