Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Yahoo Fantasy Hockey Anyone? UPDATE: This Is Full Now


Puck Daddy has published their top 100 fantasy players for the 2010-11 season. I was in a Devils based fantasy league a few years ago. If there's enough interest from you folks here, I'll create a league and let you know its login info.

Star-divide

I'm quite open to suggestions on the scoring details, head-to-head or rotisserie, auto-pick, live, or offline draft (which I think would probably work best, we could hold it here, like many mock drafts have been), etc., etc. Yahoo allows for a wide variety of possibilities. Check it out here, and think about it.

Thanks everybody, the league is full. If anybody is curious, you can check out the standings and whatnot after the season starts here. You might want to bookmark it if so, since this FanPost will fall off the list soon, I'm sure.

The masses have spoken. League is set up in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey. Select Join Custom. League ID is 11473, password is 199520002003 . I plan for the live draft to be on September 30, at 7 PM, EDT. If that date is not good for too many folks, we can negotiate a change, but it will stay if a majority of the full league agree on it or a real good reason arises.

 

Good Luck All!!!

I was just about to make a post asking about fantasy hockey too

by C.J. Richey on Aug 27, 2010 1:21 AM EDT reply actions  

Definitely

Myself and a few friends are starting a league as well we can consolidate the groups together to have one legit league. Were all big fantasy hockey and Devils fans. If anyone want to work together send me an email at cahillr1@mail.montclair.edu or just reply but we currently have 5-6 people at the moment and want over 10.

Amongst my friends, I usually handle making the baseball, football and hockey fantasy leagues and I always use Yahoo. Yahoo is great, the only problem is as of last week you couldn’t make a hockey league for 2010-11 yet. I’m not sure why there is such a delay, my football league has been in place for over a month now.

Yankees in baseball, Giants in football and Devils in hockey. It's that simple. I have no off-season.

I’m definitely interested.

by HockeyWeasel on Aug 27, 2010 12:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Definitely would play.

Head to Head works best IMO.

Offline draft would be great, but with the sheer amount of people it looks like are interested, we should split into a few groups with maybe 15/ at most 30 in each?

It will make for better drafts (each player would get about 4 “Elite” to “Good” Players).

Head to Head and a Live draft.

Here it is

I made it 16 teams so the talent pool can still be fairly good. When the league is full we can adjust the live draft date/time from 10/1, 7PM if necessary.

Well, for some reason Yahoo changed the draft time to 4 EDT, but we’ll definitely fix that when there are enough teams for Yahoo to allow me to do so.

You may want to update the Fanpost to include that information so it’s right at the top.

You’ll also want to set a date and time now so this way those who register know up-front when the action will take place. Otherwise, you’ll end up with people who registered but want several different dates and times, all of them not good for all involved.

The link goes to the League page, which it won’t allow you to access if you aren’t already a member, so search for the league by its ID (11473) and enter the password and you should be able to get in.

Gives you lots and lots of time to work on your rankings. And rework them. And second guess yourself. And read an article by some guy who seems to know what he’s talking about wrote that lays out a pretty convincing case for you to rework them again.
