Reminder to set your keepers tonight on Yahoo. Deadline is this upcoming 3a!

ADDITIONAL ROSTER POSITION: NA (Not Active) This should be the last change to the rules this season. This addition serves to advance the goal of expanding the rosterable universe. With consideration to the RFA keeper; I have added an NA slot. This will allow for the stashing of ONE player on to your roster who is no longer on an active NHL roster. The design of this position for our league is for players that have been reassigned to the AHL or juniors; so that your roster can still compete this season while thinking of the future. Alternative Usage There are other implementations: In lieu of stashing a minor or junior player; a team could potentially stash an unsigned player there as well (it's possible suspended players may also qualify, but it is unclear currently). They must be marked as NA by Yahoo. While this usage is not the intention of adding this roster spot, it is hereby acknowledged as a valid use of this position and not an exploitation of the position.

That Palms is a fighter!

It's part of the generally accepted game flow over the years. It's also not "good" for an offseason game to carry into the season... For one, it becomes influenced by current play, and second, interest will wane and vote tallies will significantly decrease to the point things just get stuck in mud.

I put together this list, it was a very manual thing as Yahoo didnt make it easy. I basically just used Career Stats - Split night games... and then looked at the close ones. I believe this is the full list, and yes... it's very clear why you would want this implemented immediately as you have plenty of assets to trade, while the rest of the league is quite barren comparably. I feel it's best to start on an even playing ground here, where everyone knows going into the season that rookies can be kept an extra year if they were drafted in the 6th round or later.

Yes; it allows you to keep a younger talent on the cheap for an extra season... before having to push a veteran off your 'UFA' keeper list (our standard 3 keeper list) the following year. It's designed to be transitional and not just having 4 permanent keepers. Looking back to 2015, McDavid wouldn't have been eligible as an RFA since he was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2015 fantasy draft, whereas Eichel would have been eligible to be kept as an RFA since he was drafted in the 6th round. It also will give you another thing to do pre-draft; as for example, this season I have NO ONE that has played less than 100 games on my roster. I could go out on the trade market and try acquire one if I desire to the mutual benefit of myself and my trading partner.

Watching this Subban/Palm fight for survival

Rule Highlight I just want to highlight this change for 2020-21 keepers as it will impact the 2019-20 draft and roster management. This 4th keeper slot is a rookie slot. Let's use last year as an example and say you drafted defenseman Rasmus Dahlin in the 6th round. He had a fantastic rookie year, putting up 44 pts in 82 games... but do you keep him? If you had a decent season, probably not... unless you want to forfeit a better player now with hopes he makes the next step. With the rookie keeper you get that second look; provided you drafted him round 6 or later and he has 100 games or less experience. This will put an additional premium on rookies and players who only played a handful of games the year prior (like those who were sent to juniors after their 10 game look).

Subban : 3 Kyle Palmieri: 1 (-1) ELIMINATED: John Hayden  Mirco Mueller  Kevin Rooney  Miles Wood Connor Carrick Wayne Simmonds Andy Greene Sami Vatanen Cory Schneider Will Butcher Pavel Zacha Nikita Gusev Damon Severson Jesper Boqvist Blake Coleman Ty Smith Jesper Bratt

I still stand by my “I’m sorry, I’m busy that day” excuse... even if I’m at the same game. I mean I’m at a sporting event... clearly I’m busy. I did meet one board member back in like 02/03... I can’t remember who it was, it was really awkward... I hope we didn’t diss France because of today’s board environment.... But understand it was a different time. Freedom Fries were still trying to catch on.

Mis-tagged; sorry!
