Season opens in about a month. Any interest in an NHL NT league?

I know very little but I'll play just so I can brag if I win.

I'm taking Steve Yzerman with my first pick.

Cool, I'll take Mario Lemieux.

I dont know how to play fantasy games i have never done it before but it would be fun to learn. Can i have keith tkachuk.

That will depend on the draft dude.

I doubt you would have too much competition for that prize spazz

Ive got Messier. Ill wear his jersey on draft day and everything!

Keith Tkachuk is the man dude.

I'm in. Lets see if I can swing Thornton AND cheechoo.

I want Gretzky.


























Janet, that is. Oh, and a good lawyer.

Max teams is 15, I'll bump it up if it gets filled up.

Online Draft. We can talk about dates when people start signing up.

points are calculated by rotisserie

wtf does that mean
I see they include faceoff wins, but what are point values for that? and penalty minutes (pim) and +/-

ok rotisserie in a nutshell

if we have 12 teams, you get ranked 1-12 in goals, assists, etc etc

if your team has the most goals, you get 12 pts for that category

if you're in last place you get 1
if you're in 2nd place you get 11, 2nd last, 2 etc etc

so if we have 12 scoring categories, the winner at the end of the year will be the person closest to 144

Here's how it works.

Lets say there are 10 people in the league.

It calculates how many you have of each stat (or in the case of % what your percentage is)

Then it ranks everyone in the league.

1st place gets 10 pts.
2nd gets 9
etc...

The team with the most points at the end of the year wins.

So basically you want to win as many categories as possible.

I put in face off wins because I took two common stats out, game winning goals (which I find to be a pretty useless and subjective stat) and power play points (because it will just benefit the players who are already great scorers and who get a ton of power play time). Face off wins is a little different so I added it. What I really wanted to add was shout out goals, but alas, that wasn't a stat on yahoo.

If you want me to change it back to the default, I got no problem with that.

Suggestions welcome.

Your way of explaining is better~

I've never done rotisserie before, so I'm interested to try it


the only part I'm not clear on is how the bench players work

in head to head, you generally can then just look at matchups for X games, and then decide who plays and who doesn't

this way your stats are constantly in a state of limbo
let's give it a go and see what happens

Players on your bench aren't tallying up stats. It's good to take gambles on breakout players or guys with injuries.
