WHL - One Spot Open... for a Rebuilding Guru!!!

[Pengwin7]

The 24-team WHL, a league made up entirely of solid DobberForum members has ONE spot open.
We bid farewell to GM-MCMackerel of the Fall's River Finest who has had life get busy & challenging and is moving on. We wish him the best.

Here is the league thread which lists most of the league settings (some minor tweaks have been done in past two years - but mostly same).
It is a 24-team, points-based H2H league run on Fantrax.
There is a $25 yearly entry fee... and $520 of the league's $600 fee is paid out in prize money ($80 to Fantrax).

The team is in definite rebuild mode, but does hold some very solid prospects including Kasperi Kapanen, Anthony DeAngelo, and Alex DeBrincat.
There are several solid veterans that can be traded away if desired... but nothing in net - oh dear.
The team also holds the 14th and 20th overall picks in our 2017 entry draft - which start July 15th!

Great League, active GM's, need to know your stuff, you will be challenged.

[barobert6]

Sent you a PM.

[rataylor22]

Bump. Still taking applications!

[Pit Bulls]

Excellent league for an active GM that knows his stuff! The GM's in this league will certainly give you a challenge!!!

[habsfannj]

I am interested. I have rebuilt teams before and love a challenge

[GinFizz]

bump

[Moses]

25 keepers of that group eh?

[evans334]

Yeah it's max 20 Pro players and minimum 5 minor players.

[als_revenge]

Yeah it's max 20 Pro players and minimum 5 minor players.

I think he was alluding to the fact that it's hard to find enough keepers for that team!

It's too bad you guys couldn't have done a 4 team expansion draft.

[Pit Bulls]

Unfortunately this vacancy came up after the most recent dispersal draft - otherwise it would have been included in that draft.

Yeah I figured but I didn't want it to deter anyone else from posting their interest

[VintageVibe]

Great league guys! Will instantly become one of your favourites for sure. League activity is through the roof -- even yesterday we had 10+ GMs online talking in the league chat at the same time... and ​(I think) this season is paid for by the previous GM! Bonus!!! This is your golden ticket to the WHL! C'mon!! Who's up for a little challenge and a great league!?

[evans334]

BUMP

[First Round Pick]

I've enjoyed it my first year in, it would be good to get one more in who likes to play around with rosters and enjoys some hockey talk! And to get in for free is a great bonus!
