    Default Night of the Back-Ups

    If you:
    i) Play in a daily add/drop, daily start league

    Consider adding a goalie.
    Looks like all 6 teams may be going with backups tonight!

    Bobbles would be my bet - Reimer is out for the buds so even if Bobbles lets in a few you should get the win.

    I would like to say take Biron but until NYR figure out the scoring I would stay away. Lundy can steal games, not sure if Biron can right now.

    Someone referenced the father of a good friend of mine that way one day and I laugh every time I see it or write it.

    LOL Bobbles.

    Yeah Bobbles would have to be my pick too, though I think that Mason might stand a decent chance of pulling out a good game. The Rangers were crap against the Oilers on Saturday.

    I felt bad.
    I actually went and picked up Bobbles & Budaj... and then realized the league I did it in has a rule about "No Cycling of Players". Aw shucks, now I feel bad.

    I don't get why people have rules stating 'no cycling of players' but don't implement some sort of a max moves limit (i.e. 50 or less per year).

    I used to stream all the time in the league with my friends because everyone did it and I didn't know it was 'unethical'. Now all the leagues that I'm in have max-moves limits so that nobody can abuse it extensively. Gives them enough moves to have some freedom but not enough to completely abuse the system.

    As for picking up backups for spot-starts...who the hell cares lol. Most of the time when you're spot starting backups odds are against you from the get-go.

    Yeah not sure why that would be the case. There's about a dozen ways to control the streaming problem.

    This has turned into a Cycling discussion. LOL.
    Yeah, I don't like the no-cycling rules either... too subjective.

    A yearly (50?) and weekly (4?) transaction limit is pretty reasonable.

    Otherwise there is bound to be the team that picks up the Sunday player simply for the sake of winning a category.

    In our $$ league it is based on a graduated pay-as-you-go tiered system. First 10 WW/FA transaction are free, the next 10 are $5 each, then $10 for the next ten, and finally $20 for as many more as you care to make.

    Keeps the streaming down and, based on last year, boosted trades a little as they are always free.
