league ID - 76536
password - zamboni

the league is head to head format.

the draft will be live and start at 7:30 pm central time on tuesday oct. 5th. stats start being counted with the first nhl game of the season which is on thursday the 7th.

pay attention to the league settings as i have include the new categories that yahoo is offering (hits and blocks). draft accordingly.

seems like most were interested in a keeper league, so thats what we will do. i went over all the keeper leagues ive been in over the years and picked out what seemed like the best stat categories, number of players, keepers and positions to use.

since this is the inaugural year, the keepers wont come into effect until next year. when they do come into play, the following will be used.
teams will be able to select to keep:

1 center
1 left wing
1 right wing
1 forward (either a center, left wing, or right wing)
2 defensemen
1 goalie
1 free choice (can be any position)

so that makes 8 keepers total out of your 25 man roster

max teams are set at 12 right now. if there is a ton of interest, we might be able to bump that number up, but it seems like 12 is the best number as far as having active managers and being able to keep people coming back each year and stay interested in the league.

if everyone is ok with this, lets go ahead and get signed up as soon as possible. the season will be here before we know it. if for some reason the majority in the league dont like the stats or settings, we can debate and talk about changing them before next season.

lets have some fun. good natured smack talk is encouraged.
