73 Percent Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Can i make a suggestion for next season? I think player pickups should be allowed after the TDL. It feels like we're all just letting our teams ride right now. Whats the point of even checking in on anything when there isnt a damm thing you can do. Just a thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 ^ this is a great idea: don't allow trades but allow people to drop and pick up from the general pool until the start of that final week. I don't see any harm there: and technically people "could" drop a guy each and pick up each others dropped guy...but meh....does that really matter..and it would have to be so well choreographed so as not to lose either guy to a random GM checking in on his team that it wouldn't bother me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I personally enjoy setting your playoff roster at the deadline. The dynamic of trying to trade guys you plan to drop, or having to predict who will make the playoffs or even having to make sure you have a good enough roster to make the playoffs before buying playoff players should make for some very good and very bad decisions. I love that. Plus it’s less work to follow your team that way. I think the casual GM’ing BFHL brings is a welcome break on CDC fantasy leagues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a schedule as chaotic as mine I agree with Arty on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forces teams to make decisions that will impact their team for the next few months. If anything we could move the trade deadline closer to season's end, but overall I like being able to just watch and see if I made the right claims/trades 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the awkward position of seeing the benefits of both ways, the current and that proposed above by 73% (*is it telling that i read it as 73rd precinct for a few weeks last fall? haha) anywho...put me down for happy either way.

Tough schedule though facing NSH and CBJ. BUF has had the toughest schedule all year, having the highest points against. Good on Bomba for persevering and nearly locking down a spot. not sure why it is so ....some teams seems super motivated when they face my team . last matchup vs. monty for an example , or the other week PO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Tight as a monkeys butt! Picking up Mrazek on waivers just before the deadline, crosses fingers, already won us one series. Another win worth 3 points tonight. He has us in another series we had no business being in. And we need to run the table just to make the post season... Currently a point in it, in our series with Mikey Boy & Nashville. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After trading Varlamov, I went to the free agent list looking to claim Mrazek, only to see he was taken. Had to settle for McElhinney instead. In hindsight though, I should've grabbed Grubauer. Then again, I probably shouldn't have made the trade in the first place, as Turris has yet to get me a point Edited March 30, 2019 by Master Mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Standings going into final week: 1. NSH - 35 points 2. PHI - 35 3. PIT - 34 4. CBJ - 34 5. TOR - 33 6. VGK - 32 7. BUF - 32 8. NJD - 29 9. WPG - 28 10. VAN - 25 11. CHI - 23 Top 7 have clinched. With a loss, VAN is eliminated. CHI lost 5 straight while NJD won 6 straight, essentially swapping places. NSH holds tiebreaker and would clinch 1st overall with a win. Otherwise, 5 teams still have a chance (imagine if it's a 5-way tie...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Tough to win with my top two guys out for as long as they have been. Still, an excellent week by @Bombastik der Teutone. Trading Aho as led to @MikeyBoy44 taking over our league! 6 teams in the east and 2 in the west? Even with 6 WC’s, there probably should be some realignment next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
