Hello, and welcome to the fantasy hockey thread for the 2017-18 NHL season. In this thread you can brag about how good your team is and ask for advice from hockey experts like me.

Websites to Play On:
Yahoo! Sports: http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/
ESPN: http://games.espn.go.com/frontpage/hockey
CBC: http://hockeypool.cbc.ca/cbc/hnicp12/notice
CBS: http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyhockey

I think almost everyone uses Yahoo for their leagues.

You can also play daily fantasy leagues on the sites that have commercials all over TV (DraftKings, FanDuel, probably some other ones) if you want to spend real life money only to have you hopes of winning $50 dashed because some jerk picked a third-liner who scored a hat trick.

For resources - dobber hockey is very good.

I'm thinking of giving DFS hockey a try this year. My brother is super into it and we might do a podcast about it. I cashed out in one of my leagues last year such that fantasy hockey is paid for this year, so I've got a few hundred bucks to play around with.

Trying to survive LSL with poo poo goaltending because you're too proud to take one in the first two rounds is almost a rite of passage at this point

I might go out on top in LSL. Been less interested in hockey lately which makes it hard to keep up with such a deep league. I'll probably stick around in HHL though.

I'd do LSL if there's a spot. Already in HHL. My fantasy hockey analysis and setup time is limited and I'm going to get screwed in the drafts because I pretty much can't do them live, but I can roster shuffle with the best of them.

The LSL will really put your roster shuffling to the test. The goalie waiver gets so desperate midway through the season that people sniff around third stringers if they have a chance of playing time.

Renewed everyone who was active in the LSL/HHL. Please post here or on the League MB if you intend on playing. Trying to get a real count on how many actives we have.

I'm still in for HHL (O'Reilly's Auto Parts) and LSL (Dzingel Bells). Oh, and LOLHL (Greg McKegg's Peg Leg).

T-Bone, when are you getting to posting the ineligible keepers in HHL? I forget if I can still keep Tarasenko or not.

e: Also I'm totally going to end up autodrafting in LOLHL, I will have to be asleep probably by about 10 eastern that night.

I am definitely still in for HHL (Osti Pastrnak)

I did not get the notification for LSL (team whatever) though.

e: I think Forsberg and Gaudreau are players on my roster that go back into being eligible for the draft but I'll wait for T-Bone to post that list. Otherwise my HHL keepers are probably going to be
Pastrnak $4 > $6 (first time keeper)
Buchnevich $1 > $2 (first time keeper)
Werenski $1 > $2 (first time keeper)
Trocheck $2 > $3 (second time keeper)

pretty solid group imo

Assuming I can get the day off that'd work better for me. I have a draft I have to leave for around 6:15PM PDT that day so I could at least do the majority.

Playoffs are no big deal,

I am back in the HHL.

I think my keepers will be Nylander, Barkov, Domi, and Vasilevskiy. Hopefully I can do better than 10th this year.

Looks like at least three spots in the LSL right now. Not sure on the HHL. We're full right now but we'll see who doesn't post their keepers. I could also expand to 16 teams like we did a couple of seasons ago but I kinda like 14 in that league.


ALSO, any interest in doing a money pool league? Like $20 buy in or something? Nothing serious business, maybe a draft and the like the ability to pick someone up if one of your guys is injured but no waivers/trades or any of that bullshit. A pool pretty much with points for G/A/W/whatever

ALSO, please post your team names for the HHL/LSL if you haven't thanks dudes.





(oh I'm in the LOL, my username is T-Bone, unsure of team name yet I need to find puns for MoJo, Hischier, and Boyle).


e: draft times posted lemme know if they're awful

10/1 for the LSL at 7 EST
10/2 for the HHL at 8 EST

de: Reminder on HHL keeper rules. Last year's salary +20% for cost (your budget is $500) Up to 4 keepers. Players who haven't been in the draft in two seasons are ineligible.

Do I keep McDavid at like $122 this year? Yeah prolly.
