I'm going to be so upset if there's a lockout lol. I'm already jonseying for our draft to hurry up and roll around (September). Feels like an eternity away!
I can't me in the minority here; who else can't wait for the season to start?
This will be year 5 in a keeper league, and after our draft I'm very pumped for the season to start.
The last two years, 2009-10 and 2010-11, I had a combine 3 draft picks, and this year I was loaded up with 10 so I was excited to add some players, and fill the cupboards with prospects again.
Year 1: 5th out of 9
Year 2: 1st out of 10
Year 3: 1st out of 11
Year 4: 2nd out of 11
Guys I drafted this year that I'm excited for: Faulk (5th), Gardiner (6th), Henrique (7th), Teravainen (15th), Bjugstad (20th), Read (23rd), Faksa (29th), Rattie, Spooner, J. Larsson in the later rounds.
Please, no lockout! I don't think I could handle it!!!

I knew I would be super busy this year with work and no time to focus on fantasy hockey. I also knew that there was a chance there could be a lockout so...
In my keeper I went for broke and traded most of my early picks and prospects and won.
So this year, I don't have much to do at the draft and I will likely be in dead last in a position to sell off my vets and then stockpile picks for next year's draft.
So I'm not looking forward to this season at all....
