Jbjints · 09-18-2015, 09:31 AM

I would love to be in a keeper fantasy hockey league. If its okay I will send you my email address and if you have room great but if not I understand.

I was in a fantasy baseball league that had a similar prize. The way they did it was every sent the commissioner 10 dollars and the commissioner looked on ebay for $100 dollar cards and had 4 options for the owners to vote on and the commish then purchased that card and sent it to the winning GM. Just throwing that idea out there.

Firerunner4 · 09-18-2015, 06:07 PM

Highroller · 10-05-2015, 12:13 PM

Draft set yet?

Highroller · 10-06-2015, 05:57 PM

Is there any other way to improve scoring for goalies? With the way it's set they aren't worth very much at all.

At the current system the top scorers from last year are

Ovechkin 249
Tavares 241
Benn 236

and goalies are

Price 117
Dubnyk 83
Rinne 77
