    Default Circles of fantasy hell

    There may not be 7, but there are levels of hell in Fantasy hockey leagues: Apathy/limbo: not setting your roster/not doing add-drops/not trading, Greed: need to “win” a trade or won’t deal; Elitism: too good to trade with/won’t respond to trade offers/never counters; and Troll, exists in the league to just be an a-hole. Anyone I miss?

    Yes... you missed one... not sure which title you want to give it... but it a break-off of the Elitism one. There are those people that you try to trade with all season and never get an offer back or a counter or anything... and then they make a trade with someone else in the league. Usually involving a player that you have been trying to trade for all season... and they give them away for cheaper than the offers you feel that you have sent... without any discussion... when you have clearly been interested in that player all year!

    That’s pretty bad. I reserved troll for my lowest level but thinking about your comment, the lowest level is “the farm team handoff/collusion”. In your scenario there might not be a hint of it but I know first hand it happens.

    The used car salesman: tries to oversell you that his trade proposal is good for your team with shoddy arguments.
    In the process, he even manages to give you some unsolicited advice as how to run your team.
    Low balls you over and over again with his old used parts.
    Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.

    omg...so many great replies. I forgot this one. What about the guy who is like a crack dealer...gives you the first one for free (free crack/free advice on some add/drops) because they know they're gonna get you on the come back.

    One guy I see missing among all these (sadly) accurate suggestions:
    The guy who vetos other deals, calling out folks for being stupid, giving his unasked assessment of other deals all the time. And then he trades Malkin away for Newhook and Krebs (happened exactly like this in my current league).

    Skaters: G 4.5 (5 for Ds), A 3, PPG 1.5 (2 for Ds), PPA 1 (1.5 for Ds), SHP 2, Ft 2, HIT 0.6, BLK 0.6, SOG 0.3 (0.4 for Ds), FW 0.1, Tk 0.5 // Gv -0.3
    Goalies: W 3.5, SHO 5, SV 0.5, A 3 // GA -3, L -1.5
    4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G, 4BN, 4IR
