That bench thing is a good idea. Just did it myself.
Anyway...
I have Bourque LW/RW, Pavelski (C), Morrow (LW), Hartnell (LW), Filpulla(C), J Jokinnen(LW), and Blake, Seabrook, Lidstrom, and Sami Salo available for
as you all know..an upgrade to my D keeper spot.
Right now I have Lidstrom and Seabrook there, but am willing to move one of them to upgrade the other one.

Sure it is, but when you're able to look at all players stats in the same time you see their availability, it makes all so much (=many clicks/tabs) easier.Manimal wrote:That is what the trading block is for.kuulapaa wrote:P.S. Someone had invented a great way of putting his keepers dressed and all the others on bench. It was a plain and simple and ohh so beautiful way to see at a glance who's available in a team that I aped it immediately.

You should be loving your keepers, as they're awesomeCatchUp wrote:I'm loving my keepers at forward and d. Now should I keep Ward or Bryz? Opinions?

And about your keeper G, comparing last season's stats I'd take Bryz with his 8 shutouts and more games started. But as Canes' goalie situation may be changing while Legace is going to be an UFA in summer, Ward may be starting more games next season. It's a tough one and I'd wait and see what happens in Hurricanes' goalie situation before making my mind up.

Relegation teams have already been replaced.getzlaf15 wrote:Who's in charge of the Chicago Sun Bears.
Can we please replace them...
They still have Alexander Semin on IR from 2009...

Danny is now in charge of the Sun Bears.
Which reminds me, I should probably point out who is who, now that all three of our promoted owners are officially in:
1. Danny has been promoted to owner of the Sun Bears.
2. McQwak has been promoted to owner of the Caerphilly Saints organization, which has been relocated to Prague.
3. Cityatan has been promoted to owner of the Mighty Turnips.

Yup, I have. Expect Mighty Turnips to get relocated away from Kent whenever I have time to sit down to it. Hopefully during the weekend.B. Stinson wrote:Relegation teams have already been replaced.getzlaf15 wrote:Who's in charge of the Chicago Sun Bears.

The roster doesn't look that good, to be honest.

-NEWSFLASH-
The Karlstad Killers are re-locating!
Due to a severe lack of funding, the TBLHL franchise is moving from Karlstad to Borås. The team finished second in the standings last year, but fell in the first-round of the play-offs to the eventual champions Marsac's Newbies.
'We have tried everything to keep the team in Karlstad, but this is the best solution for the franchise. We have signed a three-year lease with the city of Borås and we are excited to the new start. We believe we have top-class keepers returning and we hope to have a succesful draft' says Christoffer Backa, GM of the team.
To start out fresh, a name-the-team contest hereby starts. 'We hope to receive several great names to choose from. We want to be able to wear the name with pride as we hope for a succesful future in the city of Borås!'

Couple of announcements:
Our primary league, known last season simply as TBL Hockey League, has been officially named. In honor of long-time and dedicated TBL administrator, the league has been named Minstrel Hockey League.
Also, as you all know, we had plans for a second teir with a promotion-relegation relationship with the Minstrel Hockey League. This league is officially being announced, and will be the Octavian Hockey League. For those unaware, Octavian is an original member of TBL, and continues to provide a server for TBL to be hosted on.
The Minstrel Hockey League will continue to comprise of 14 teams, while the Octavian Hockey League's structure has yet to be finalized. The structure will ultimately depend on interest in fantasy hockey this year.
Lastly, I have some proposed dates:
MHL Keeper Deadline: Saturday, 25 September 2010
2010 MHL Fantasy Draft: Saturday, 2 October 2010
2010 OHL Fantasy Draft: Sunday, 3 October 2010
2010 Season-opener: Thursday, 7 October 2010
This will place the drafts on the weekend before the NHL season opens, and the MHL keeper deadline one week before the drafts. Anyone have any objections with these dates?
Also, does anyone have anything to be discussed for the upcoming season? New rules, changed rules, general concerns, etc., etc.?
