Re: Need 1 Replacement Manager for Free Yahoo H2H Keeper League
I had an inquiry and thought I'd add the answer here.
This league is pretty established and most managers are at the platinum (highest) level on Yahoo Hockey. Because it's a keeper league, managers take a long term view. Trades happen but are hard to make. There can be only a couple or close to half a dozen depending on the season. Some managers will go all in to try to make the playoffs but most are taking the long-term view at this point.
It's a Keeper League, but there is no minor league or rights you hold to players from year to year. Each year you select 8 skaters and 1 goalie to keep. Rights to all other players are given up and you draft the remainder of your roster from players not kept by another manager.
To be successful in this league, where only 8 managers make the playoffs, you will need to draft well, make daily roster changes and have a strategy for the type of team you think will be competitive. It's tough but fun.
