Anyone looking to dump salary with the new 2015-16 salaries coming in let me know

Are they updated now on Fantrax?

[GoNucks]

No not yet, but I have just been looking at various players and certainly some big changes to come salary wise. Just wanting it to be known I am open to trading and open to taking on salary.

Great draft. Will definitely be needing to dump some salary!

About a month away from training camps and pre-season....I am so anxious.

I have one more draft to do, but that's only late September. Means I will aimlessly stare at my rosters for a month lol.

[GinFizz]

Thanks for the sig... we all should be uniform and united.

[Brosive]

I also have plenty of cap space to take on any large contracts that managers need to part with.
I'm open to any talks

[Burgundy]

Thanks for the signature template, Peng!

[GinFizz]

I get an error when trying to edit signature. something about 1000 characters...

[evans334]

On the topic of signatures, can we make the league public?

It allows anyone to see Standings and Team rosters.

For example in my sig below if you click on "current roster" for one of my teams you get the team page on fantrax.

Sure - I can do that.
I'll do it on Monday, August 17th.
I sent an email to everybody and deleted the SharedGoogleDoc thread so that nobody's name or email address was sitting available to the public.

If anybody needs to hide any personal info, it'll give them a weekend to do that.

[evans334]

Cool, thanks.

No public info would be viewable, just the following pages: Standings, Players, Team Roster, and Transaction History

From the fantrax page

We ready to discuss our best/worst or most/least favourite picks of the draft?

I kind of hated taking Voracek at 24 even though he was the BPA. I didn't think I was going to get an elite player drafting at 24th overall but with 5 picks left to go all of Kane, Kessel, Getzlaf, Mack and PK were available - I was sure that someone would reach for a goalie somewhere in there and let me grab one of those guys, but they were all taken before my pick. That hurt! Jake is great but not super exciting, I guess, considering he was the 14th best player last year (if our league had existed) and is still young but was passed up by the 23 other teams in front of me.

I liked getting Nichushkin at the top of the 4th and I think it was great value to get both Sedins at #120 and #121. The Sedins picks drove me towards going for a win-now strategy and while I'm not crazy about populating my team with all the oldies I ended up with, that was the opportunity that presented itself to me.

I knew that going with Shattenkirk with my 2nd pick would mean I would miss out on the big goalie run, which I did in a big way. Between my 2nd and 3rd round picks (46 picks) a total of 14 goalies were taken. When it got back to me I could have jumped in on the goalies and grabbed Jones, Talbot, Mrazez or maybe the Dallas duo but I decided to gamble that goalies are not super valuable in our start 1 G league and went with EKane/Nichushkin. We'll see how that works out. I did think I would be able to get Vasilevskiy in my next pick but as we now know, nobody falls in the draft in this league (except old dudes). Ended up with Howard and while that's not great, I'm hoping for a bounceback season, at least enough of one to help me get into the money. My D is a little rough as well.

Also decided to wait on drafting prospects to grab win-now type players and my prospect cupboard is obviously pretty bare now. I have a couple of intriguing names but no gamebreakers. I'll go for the win over the next few seasons and will hit a rebuild after that, considering that about half of my team will be dead/retired by 2017.

Fun draft, all in all! Excited to see some trades go down and figure out how players are being valued in this league.

[Pengwin7]

Ah good to know.
I am still learning the Fantrax.
