ZFHL Dynasty League Openings
 

Hello fantasy hockey lovers :) I'm one of the admins of ZFHL, a dynasty league in its 6th year. Our league breakdown is like this:

-30 teams
-19 player active roster (12xF,6xD,1xG), 11 player bench
-30 signed prospect pool per team. Unsigned prospects don't count against this limit (a player drafted in 2011 doesn't need to be signed until 2013, unless said player is active in the NHL, basically)

-We use Fantrax. Our scoring categories are GP,G,A,+/-,PIM,PPG,PPA,SHG,OTG,GWG,ShootoutGWG,Hit,Block
W,SHO,Sv,OTL,ShootoutL,GA.
-We change lines weekly.
-We use a cap floor and cap ceiling, using NHL SALARY numbers for players, not cap hit. This year's values are 71.2M ceiling (amount NHL teams can spend, +1M), and 44M floor.

So without further delay, I'll show the vacancies

Notes: With a starter goalie, and rebound years from Getzlaf, Ballard, Green and Stewart, this team could push for a playoff spot easily. Had a rough year last year, but they've got a balanced active roster, and some prospects that are looking good. The bench has a lot of inactives on it, but the new blood is on its way. Two years ago it was sitting in the playoffs. It can be there again.

Notes: Washington finished 5th in the East and 8th in the league last year. They've been intensely competitive throughout the league history and are in their last few years of immediate title contention. With a few moves, though, they could extend that and remain competitive for a while. Or, a team could sell off some of the talent here and do a serious rebuild or a moderate/minor retooling. Lots of options with Washington.
