World Hockey League (WHL) has Three Openings

[Pengwin7]

One of the forums wonderful keeper leagues has three openings for the coming year.
We bid good luck wishes to gopack26, Goldendelicious, and Selanne13 in their future endeavors and thank them for good year(s) as WHL GMs.
With their departure, we have new openings for THREE new Forum Members that are interested in competing with some of the crazy personalities from the forums!



Entry fee = $25/year.
The $600 collected between 24 owners goes toward the Fantrax fee ($80) and then awards for 1st/2nd/3rd in regular season, most points, playoff champ ($200) and runner-up.
Each team has a 35-player roster throughout the year and must choose 25 players to protect by June 30th midnight.
Teams must fit their 25-player PRO roster under a $100m budget. They may keep 10 "Junior" players on their JR roster.
League format is H2H 1-win by points-per-stat (G=1,A=1,SOG/HIT/PIM/BLK=0.05, W=2,SV=0.1,GAA=-0.1).
Teams roster 3C/3LW/3RW/6D/1G nightly.
Take your best shot at dethroning our 2017-2018 champion: praba!

July 15th is our 5-round Junior Prospect Draft.
Sept 15th is our 5-round NHL PRO Replacement Draft.

The three GMs will be selected by their interest shown by posting in this thread, and based on their involvement in the Dobber community forums and other members' pools.

Expressed an interest last year and remains to be the case this year please

[Kofax]

I'll toss my hat into the ring. Always happy to get involved with an active, competitive group like this one.

[EdmontonCrunch]

Sounds fun. I don't play paid leagues as a rule, but just wondering how do you determine the salaries? I help run a contract based league and we've had discussions about a hard cap. Is your 100M cap a hard cap ? How does the league like it?

[evans334]

This is a great league filled with passionate & savvy GMs.

10 on 10, would recommend

[GinFizz]

Plus I'm in the league.
