Positions will change again once the season starts. What d-man turned forward?

Byfuglien, I don't watch enough Jet's games to see where he lines up week in week out but his ice time is high (higher than any other RW by 2 minutes) which says to me more D man? :dunno: Seguin also changed from having C and RW to just C now. Anyone have D-men they are looking to move?

During the off-season, players get limited to just one position. Usually, they will get their secondary positions back once the season starts.
I will allow Byfuglien to count as a keeper defenseman for your team, but at the draft, you need to have six players that are listed as d-men on your team. So, unless he gets his position back before then, you need to draft four d-men.

If the spot is still available, I'm willing to give it a try. Hopefully, this way I can enjoy gamecenter even more, with the lower price and all..

It seems like I've stopped to recieve notifications from the forum to my email so I didn't realize that things are starting to roll now. I think I can attend the 28th.
Did I really get the Masterton? Ironically for my least active season yet. :-p

I know the feeling, I ended with almost only keeper C before one season and almost only LW another time and they waited over a month to add (logical) positions to some players. It really messes up your drafting.

Somebody in serious need for keeper forwards? I got a bunch of equal guys fighting for a keeper spot.

Some of the ones I can trade:
Hartnell
Gallagher
Dubinsky
van Riemsdyk
Hornqvist
Purcell

Looking for a clear third keeper D, 2for1 trades and draft picks to lower the number of forwards on my team.

I too think perhaps I might have a player or two that someone else might be interested in...I too would like to improve my D or draft position :-)

I think my keepers are going to be...
F - Sean Couturier, Daniel Sedin, Wayne Simmonds, David Perron, Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko
D - John Carlson, Dan Boyle and Paul Martin
G - Kari Lehtonen

This means my "available" players are...
F - Joe Thornton, Mike Richards, Andrew Cogliano, Cory Conacher, Vincent Lecavalier, Nick Bonino, Troy Brouwer, Alex Burrows and Michael Frolik
D - Kimmo Timonen, Kris Russell, Dan Hamhuis
G - Anders Lindback, Mike Smith
