scott nichol was still on my roster. I just dropped him but this is a reminder than Manny Fernandez is mine if/when he comes until I relinquish the rights

Maybe I am missing something...

I went all the way unto the middle of October and my team has been empty.

Nevermind, didn't scroll all the way down...

i m assuming now that its open, its a free for all for transactions.

With the caveat that the owed players listed above (and Manny Fernandez, until Ed fills the open position with someone else) are unavailable and will be removed if picked up by another owner...yes.

ty..wasnt gonna pick up those crappy players anyway

hey adam, for whatever reason gustafsson and ellis arnt on my roster on the yahoo league

I put Hossa on IR and added Gustafsson to your roster, but you don't have any room right now for Ellis.

Let me know what you want to do, I've added Ellis to your "owed" list.

ok man, i've moved van ryn to IR to i should have an open spot. thanks!

The list is updated and it appears that everyone who is going on IR to start the season has been placed there.

The teams that still have players "owed" to them, I need you to either make a drop or plan on vacating your rights to the players listed above. All of these guys are players that the GM's already stated they were ok dropping, I just want to make sure that's still correct before we move on...

On behalf of everyone in the pool, I would like to thank Adam for putting this together. I know you did a lot of extra work, due to ESPN's suckiness.

thanks again, good luck everyone and lets have a fun and safe season.

All the best to my competitors, even the ones from Montreal.

Thanks man, it's been a total pain in the butt but I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel now...

I do second that. Thanks for all you've done so far Adam.

Can I be owed Robert Lang since he's not in Yahoo's system yet? I'll drop Grachev.

Yes, that's fine.

i'll third that adam, many thanks - very much appreciated by all.

i will go ahead and relinquish the rights to pyatt and bergfors

Thanks a lot Adam for all the hard work!

I just put Joel Ward on IR could you add Simmonds with my empty roster spot?

should i call him up in the AHL?

Is he going to be up for good, and contribute like he did in preseason?

Unless I'm missing something somewhere Simmonds wasn't drafted or ever owned by any team on ESPN, so you would have to put in a waiver claim for him to acquire his rights. Players will come off post-draft waivers tomorrow.

If I'm missing something by all means let me know. Thanks.

hmm..guess who is going to put a waiver claim

We should have canned the post draft waivers since we drafted last week.

Serge I do think he's going to contribute, he looked amazing in the preseason. But we'll see. Maybe good for 30-40 pts

There was no other way of having everyone know that players were available for pickup again, doing waivers after the draft again was the fairest way I could think of to handle it.

*Edit at 7:40 Friday AM* At this point, I'm considering the league officially transferred from ESPN. Business will go forward as normal from this point, all players on the player list (except Manny Fernandez, if he ever gets added and Ed has left a spot open for him) are available to any team who wishes to pick them up.

are we still using this thread or are we going back to the yahoo thread?


anyway, fyi, Manny Fernandez is still my property. the two players I added were thanks to IR spots. just wanted to make sure no one jumps to conclusions when Manny signs with a team. even if it's a beer league team. he's mine.

Arg. It won't let me view the league since I'm not in it. I want to sweat the games!

i m kicking ass already..

all you need to know.

Darn.

If anyone in the pool uses their yahoo ID only for this pool, and for no personal gain wants to share their PW with me, I would be greatful. grateful?

grateful

now that I have Markov on my IR I wanted to go pick up Morreau since his rights were reserved to me. Unfortunately I did not realize dev picked him up a couple days ago. Would it be ill mannered for me to ask for him back now?

My bad. Didn't realize.

Adam, can you use your admin powers and move him to his team? That way he doesn't have to go through the waiver process. I'd also like to pick up Marc-Andre Bergeron if/when he's available.

cool thanks.

I just heard about bergeron too and saw you snagged him in the Deuce before I could. nice move.

Done, thanks for being cool. I'll add Bergeron to your team when he gets added, probably tomorrow.

Where is all the trash talk...??

I had a very good week that could of been better as fell a goal and two assists short of a huge week.

Pick of the pool so far has to be my Craig Anderson..The man is on fire..

Loving the pool..

I also just picked up the Edmonton goalies with 7 names..

Very exciting that he was still available...One groin pull to Khabibulin and we are in.

Why picking a goalie early is overrated, there's your answer.

Uh oh - I assume my bets are not doing well?

Monkey is one spot ahead of Serge and Adam is seven spots below. However, we've only completed one week so it's way early.

Merci.

actually i had identical scores with monkey last week.

Quick question..

What is the minimum on goalies, or is there one?

Do i win all the goalie categories including shutouts, IF my opponent has less than the minimum?

Currently i am winning the shutout category with 0, since my opponent hasnt even put up a minute of goaltending stat.

PS

My team is awesome and I love Craig Anderson.

There is no minimum this year - since we were originally on ESPN which didn't have a goalie minimum option, it was determined during the draft that there would be no minimum.

We've since moved to Yahoo but since owners drafted goalies under the assumption that there was no minimum, that rule carried over.

Anyone interested in trading me a goalie?

I'm pretty strong in most other categories, so just let me know where you need help.

I have a good first string goalie..Jeff Deslauriers from Edmonton...Was announced Khabibulin wont be back for a long time.

No shit. Why do you think I need a goalie? LOL.

What do you want for him?

i sent you an offer earlier.

Ya, I saw it after I posted. I'll think about it. Hoping I can get better offers than JDD at this point, he blows, lol.

i would also consider trading Cam Ward..However the package would need to be significantly higher.

Update? Anyone? Bueller?

My team sucks.

Hard.

Dale's is good though.

i am ahead of Adam..And pulling away

I got completely destroyed by Andre. I gave him 4 points because I made a mistake and dressed Dubnyk, instead of just using my Vokoun stats, which were fantastic (this was even before his SO last night).

I'm down to 6th, but have an easier week this time around, hopefully I can make up some ground, and widen the gap between myself and 7th.

I'm losing hold on the second spot. Had been like thirty points up. Now less than ten. Stupid Huet and Osgood not starting enough. what? I'm not allowed to complain? In about the same span, I was like 10 points behind GoBears. Now well. not close.
