Why is the draft on a Wednesday?
The commissioner of the league is some professional poker player that has commitments in vegas and London.He has to be London on the weekend of the 26th. The week before is the "other" league that the ex commissioner is drafting as well I believe said commissioner isnt available.

Myself and Bob will be in the new league. Daniel will not be in the new league for many reasons. Darrell and Daniel had some disagreements and this is why Darrell is gone and Daniel isnt in the new league.

K, no prob. I'll only bring 10 friends.
As if you have that many.
Try to get me the team with Tyler f'in Kennedy, so I can pillage Zach's team with my first AHL trade.
Simply using "TFK" can save you time in the future.

So you got rid of that other team in Pittsburgh in your sig finally?
It might be me that you're thinking of. If I wasn't embarrassed a couple years ago when I put it up...why should I be now?

I'll be at the draft for sure. I was offered a team in the other league, but declined the offer. Managing one team requires a lot of time and devotion. I wasn't a fan of the new league starting out, because it competes for owners initially jeopardized the league's future. The AHL will be just fine, though, and for the current owners leaving, I think they are making a big mistake. What happens when their new league starts, than the commish just gets bored with his team and decides, meh, let's start all over. So if you spent 5 years trying to build a winner and now finally your team is prepped to compete... he could just dismantle the league. That's not going to happen to the AHL.

Daniel,We need to make some decisions on stuff soon. I think if a few of us get together on MSN to iron out some details in the next week it will be helpful.Dave(website), Dale(stats and rosters), should be included in a quick governors meeting.Also the owner of the Smugglers is MIA and needs to be replaced as we have no way of getting a hold of him.

I am sure there is a waiting list but I would like to be considered for an open spot now or in the future

John,We can definetely consider you, however being at the draft physically is a must in our pool. Most of our guys are based in Toronto and the surrounding areas.

Fortunately, I have some miles built up. Making a once a year trip to Toronto is fine

A fantasy league is only as strong as its commish and/or weakest owner. Commissioner status doesnt mean someone owns and runs the whole league. Each owner should have an equal say in the direction of the league, IMO. Or else you get stupid things like what happened with AHL. Personally, I dont believe in commissioners. I see them as administrators.
