And for the record...   this came down to something as small as a single goalie win.    You each had 40 wins, and were splitting points 11 and 12 between each other.   It would have been tied if Swamps pulled out an extra win (+.5 to him  -.5 to NJDefenders - tied at 152) ... and then I'm not sure what happens...  

By the same token it would have sucked royally for him if that surprise last-minute DNP for Rask on Saturday cost him enough in the goalie stats to lose.

I'm well aware of the almosts, three of my four second place finishes in the last four seasons have been by 1, 4 and 5 points...but of course I scraped by him in a couple of categories too so it could have been more of a deficit.  Really the league got decided with two things - my fatal flaw in plus-minus, and the fact he had so much high end talent.  The #1 and #2 Yahoo rated players (Kane, Ovechkin), along with #7 Bergeron, #13 Letang and #33 Gaudreau, as well as the in-season Gostibhere pickup.  I had a pretty good, balanced mix too, though Malkin dissapearing for two months didn't help it's not like that was a huge shock either.  I still had enough to finish in the top five in nine out of ten offensive categories and the top three in seven of ten at least.

I thought for sure Hasan would catch you this week; but what do I know, I only have a fourth place medal.

Yeah I've been remarkably consistent but in your case you've had three 1's, a 2 and a 4 with only one bad year in the last six, that's not too bad.  You play long enough you're gonna have a bad year eventually, although mine was aided by my self-inflicted autodraft fiasco I'll eventually have other season(s) where I'm just out of it like you last year or Zamboni this year - you pick the wrong goalie(s), get ravaged with injuries or whatnot.  Maybe that season would have been my off year anyway, the one pick I did make was Ovechkin and he had a 65-point season that year.

Hey guys, I'm the guy Devilsfan118 was talking about. I would love to be in the fantasy league. I played in a random league this season. Was top 3 for a good majority. Then with lack of goalies dropped to 5th and finished 5th out of 12. I'm still learning but love the thrill.

And also to add to this - which teams are officially "dead"? Or rather, which can the new guys choose from?

Dan's Guys, Eat Another Donut and Squirtle Squad. All had fewer than five moves, were ridiculously under game limits and it's been several weeks/months since their last league activity. I'll post a best keeper eligible list from each team later but if you want to look at who's eligible on each roster go onto Yahoo's players list and in the first drop down box eventually you'll see all the team names. Do a search with that team name and that's who's eligible.

And I can actually transfer the team over now if I have an email address but you can't do anything with it till late Summer anyway other than maybe change the name and general settings I suppose

Or just ignore me and my misunderstanding of how you have it planned out and I'll wait patiently lol. Sorry, just kinda excited. 

No problem and a belated welcome, I wish I could leave it open in the offseason but some of the settings I can't change till next preseason.

Here's the rosters of the dead teams in question (the rank is their end-of-season Yahoo rank), I had to write all the rosters down manually in case Yahoo screwed me and wouldn't let me carry them over into next season.  Remember you can only keep three players on whatever team, and the rest of the rules just go back to the first page of this thread for:

Do we have a date selected for the draft this year? 

Maybe when they actually activate the league :P

Usually that's in early September/late August. I don't really want to do the hockey stuff till after the football draft anyway cause the offline draft constantly gets bumped up over this thread.

We also still need two replacements for the remaining dead teams.

Jesus I thought you rev'ed this thread to dig up extras for the football..... y'all are starting this WAY too early :P

Haha my bad my bad, I know it's early.  

Makes sense, no rush on my part.  Just trying to plan my next few weekends out - I'm going to be traveling quite a bit for the college football season so I want to make sure I keep myself available to make the draft.
