Inaugural BigFooty Keeper League

[scottyjc]

I just realised I have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds - flexible here if people are interested.

Also, when are keepers due?

Once keepers are locked in, is every thing open for trade again? (ie this years picks, next years picks..)

 

[Air Conveyance]

Putting Zach Parise up for trade, make an offer!

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

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?

 

[TheStinger]

I still have JvR on the table...

 

[iluvparis]

I have a rookie keeper slot if anyone wants it.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

After my latest 'Wheeling and dealing' (maybe I should change my team name to that ), this is an updated list of my keepers.

1. Pavel Datsyuk (Pending trade with Glasgow Mega Snakes)
2. Jason Spezza
3. Patrick Marleau (Pending trade with Glasgow Mega Snakes)
4. Cory Schneider
5. Dustin Byfuglien
6. Milan Lucic
7. Jeff Carter
8. Steve Mason (Pending trade with Ollafub Serbas)

Rookies
1. Jonathan Drouin
2. John Gibson
3. Darcy Kuemper or Reilly Smith (Will depend on whether Smith is signed before deadline)

Up for Trade:
M. Koviu, Burns, Vrbata, Perron, Filppula

 

[iluvparis]

My 3rd rookie keeper slot has gone to tbt for a 5th round selection.

My 3rd rookie keeper slot has gone to tbt for a 5th round selection.

Confirming that deal - TBT Bleu et Bleu acquires a rookie keeper slot (so as to have 4 rookie slots in all) from Getting Iggy With It in exchange for TBT's 5th round pick (actually is Round 16 pick).

 

[iluvparis]

If anyone wants to take a chance on Hornqvist lighting it up after moving to Pens he is available for a draft pick upgrade.

 

[two blue tiger]

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.....

have we set a draft date? just under 2 weeks

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)

Any objections?? I think its a good idea

doof - if no objections by draft time, shall we change it over?
