Our league is actually pretty tight in the standings.
For example,
Goals: 53-to-41 (2nd to 2nd last). 13point swing there.
Assists: 88-to-80 (1st to 10th). 9point swing there.
+/-: 9 to -11 (4th to last). 11point swing there.
Wins: 10 to 7 (4th to last). 11point swing there.

There's a lot of points that are being switched daily due to tight categories... and G/A/+-/W are some major ones.
So I think people are hesitant to shake up their team.
Nothing worse than bailing on players you drafted... only to see them start performing after you've dealt them. We all drafted our players for a reason.

I think we'll see more trade offers later in the season.

In ROTO, it's not until a bit later in the season where you start the thinking of:
"OK, I'm out of it in _____ category, so I might as well trade my players away and go for the really tight ____ category."

I just don't think our league has enough separation yet to start seeing trades.

[hawkdog]

I haven't been in many roto leagues, 1 to be exact - and the commish shut it down after one season.

I think you are correct in being worried about Rougie, he has Kesler coming back...............

hoping he sparks the PP and the Sedins!

Looks like we have a new leader for the first time ... Looks like those fears were realized.

On another note ... If you read this thread Scurvy ... I sent you an offer. Please respond.

My team has been trending downwards for two weeks.
I pretty much handed the lead over.

I've been over 110pts through February, as high as 120.
Today, 106. (Rougie at 107)
Yeesh.

I'm having a big day though already.
Bryz, 0GA, Win, 19 saves.
Varly, 5GA, Win, 33 saves.
That'll jump me from 9 to 11 wins... which is a +4pt move in the standings alone.

Clarkson 14 PIM
Martin 10 PIM
Lots of SOG. (which will be a tight-tight category)

Back to first place tomorrow.

It's going to be a tight-tight league.
Everybody has been bitten by some kind of goalie-bug.

Haha this is awesome! Our thread has no activity. My team has gone down the dump with some crappy goaltending and me missing the waiver deadline because I thought it was a day later..

That's too bad your league is sort of dead... chat-wise.
We have five teams today within 6 or 7pts of first place.

My team is at 105pts... and the others are all around 100/99/98-ish.
It's going to be a real good fight down the stretch.

[hawkdog]

ya its gonna be a battle!

I had one of my best nights last night, the Sedins are finally gettings some points and its making a big difference. up to 6th place 14.5 points back from the russian!

First trade of the season completed yesterday:

Hamonic for Hiller.

Nice work popping the cherry guys!

[hawkdog]

Nice Work Pengwin!

I had a zero dollar bid in on Orr for some PIM. I see he's out with a lower body injury today.

[hawkdog]

looks like its going to whoever has the least injuries wins this,

bad luck with Malkin last night Penguin, and Bieksa is out for me to

[Pengwin7]

Can't win a competitive league like this with your best player out.
If Malkin misses 10+ games, I think I lose my chance to compete for the title.

[hawkdog]

frik, not its looks like Clowe could be out 6-10 games, my leading PIM getter, and Giradi out last night to!! crap.

[NikW71]

Tough luck on the injuries fellas!! Looks like I made my move this weekend!!
