Gotta come up with fantasies now huh? Pathetic and desperate, all because your plebeian rodent brain fell prey to the carnivorous hawk that is my mind. I've never broken a keyboard, I've actually never broken anything in anger, can you say the same whilst sporting that massive slope to your forehead? That was the thesis of your sad little comeback attempt, debunked. Anybody else love the tasty irony in the last place team calling the 1st place team a plug? Surely you realize how moronic you are? Nobody can be that imbecilic.
Now I'm speaking to Derrick and Derrick alone, get rid of managers unworthy of their teams. It's time, occasionally mistakes are made but once we see what managers bring to the table and they're this poor, ditch them. Jeff at the very least, he doesn't care about this league or his team, lots of evidence available, he's awful and is a true detriment and embarrassment to a great league. I can't stand to see anybody drag this league's name through the mud, make an example out of him.

'Chirping' is fine, so long as it is in good fun. But once the chirps escalate into personal attacks on character that is when everyone needs to take a step back and remember why we are all here. To have fun. But to also be competitive. Fantasy sports should be taken seriously in so much that dedication, pride, hard work etc. reflected in this arena should also translate to other areas in life. Plus the more one cares about the league the better (in theory) it should be collectively. Generally speaking, I don't have a problem with Nose and his shenanigans because I have known him for 15 years and understand that the individual you see on the forums is just an act, a persona, a character, etc. He is fulfilling the role of insufferable 'bad guy' that everyone loves to hate. He is able to do this because he has enjoyed success in the league and can always point to that to back up his words. My advice would be to not take 'chirps' so seriously and understand this guy WANTS to get under your skin. Which isn't always a bad thing. Any time Nose goes on a rant forum activity and league participation go up. He is basically kept around to drive up the ratings.
I would suggest treating fantasy hockey and the forums kind of like WWE wrestling or your favorite comic book universe. Think of it as kind of a social experiment. The NAFHL forum is a stage and everyone has to play their part. Are you a hero or a villain?

Kept around? I'm here because I'm the Best in the World and that cannot be denied! Nobody touches me. I am the best manager in the history of this league and that's a fact! People have a problem with that, they push, prod, and cry. They disrespect. The people crying should be exposed as the cowards they are. Everything is fair game. Everything. Including attacks on character. It's called freedom of speech, you ever hear of it? You not about freedom? I feel a certain way, you can't snuff it. I attack what I see, what I deem worthy of attacking, at least I don't make shit up like some of these other Ted's. 'Fun' is subjective and isn't necessary. Competition is necessary. You think NHL players chirping each other on the ice cry like you lame wads? You think what they say isn't like a million times worse than what I've said? Grow up. This isn't a schoolyard or popularity contest. Crying to the teacher doesn't work anymore fools, dishonorable behavior.
Am I a hero or a villain? I'm an anti-hero. I do see a bunch of villains though, the scary thing is they don't even realize they're villains.

In other news, the Prospect Draft will be Sunday June 18th, 2017 at 12:00 PM EST. What. In. The. Hell. Perhaps I should take my own advice and worry less about updating rosters and lists and more about double and triple checking to see that my keepers are actually posted in the Official Keeper Submission Thread. There is an timestamp of 12:02 on my team page showing my updated roster and intended submission, but if you someone wants to argue rules feel free to throw up a poll and put it to a league vote. My list of keepers and the top 10 Yahoo O-Rank for my team differ by one player. |

All good, you were right there with it, that rule should really be 'In the event of an absentee manager...', although I think that was the first time in NAFHL history that a manager did not supply his keeper selections on time. That was also the quickest the rosters have been updated and I very much appreciate it. I'll double check for errors, off the top of my head I saw that the Ottawa Senators and Carolina Hurricanes have (11/19) on their roster pages rather than (10/19), I believe each team only has 10 players listed though, small typographical error. Also, the players on my main roster have not been updated like I have them for my keeper submission. Barkov & Allen no longer have prospect/minor leaguer information and Draisaitl's doesn't have his updated information. Good work as always Commish! |

I literally checked and refreshed the submission thread like 7 times, going so far as to review the admin activity log to see if I had somehow deleted my post accidentally. I had never been so certain that I had made a post in all my life only to find it mysteriously gone. Was it the Russians? Was it Anonymous? I felt like I was on acid. After pondering endlessly, my best guess is that my post was "submitted" but in a momentary blip of internet malfunction as I switched from tab to tab updating the forum, it timed out and never went through. The technical issue must have resolved itself fairly quickly as I was updating a team page on the forum because when I clicked 'submit' for that update everything was fine. It never even occurred to me that the most important post of all might not have gone through as I was x'ing out the tabs. Unreal. In any event, good eye. Those corrections have been made. Let me know if any other errors turn up. |

You forgot to mention that I get an expansion draft and a player from each team 😜 My apologies. Correction: The Colorado Avalanche have been bought out and will relocate to Las Vegas for the 2017-2018 season. Mike - Avalanche will still serve as GM for the team. Vegas will forfeit it's entire roster and get an exclusive expansion draft after this year's Entry and Waiver Drafts to select its team. As per expansion draft rules, each other team in the league with forfeit its 9th Round Waiver Draft selection to Vegas to round out its team. There. Better? |

Just a few things to touch on before the upcoming Entry Draft:
1.) It has been decided that the Detroit Red Wings will keep the number one overall pick and will not be punished for questionable decisions this past season. I feel as though it would be harming the franchise even further in a league where we strive for parity. However, the Red Wings management will be under the microscope and be placed on 'probation.'
2.) Scotty is out as the GM of the Hurricanes. I don't feel as though there needs to be an explanation for this one, he has pretty much been a ghost and missed every major deadline. If any of you know anybody who who might be interested in taking over as the Hurricanes don't hesitate to let me know.
3.) Given the above two points, and other issues around the league, it is time for a change. The foundation of a great league is its managers. In order to remain fun and competitive we all need to step up and do our parts. Starting this offseason the 'Warning System' will be strictly enforced and managers who fail to live up to expectations will be subject to removal from the league. This is not a measurement of where managers place in the standings but rather a managers ability to follow rules and remain active.
Now with that said, let's get it going. Good luck and happy drafting.

I know we have discussed this before..... but can we get some opinions again on reopening trades and trade talks from seasons end up until keeper submissions??
I believe this could be a very influential time in shaking up rosters and making quality changes. The draft orders are known by then and we could target keepers that we believe shore up certain categories. I still don't think keeper slots should be traded but most everything else there should be opportunity to acquire assets.
I would also be open to discussing potentially shrinking keeper slots to 8. To inspire more parity and add even more quality to the waiver draft.
Just some thoughts as we move into another off season.

The draft orders are known by then and we could target keepers that we believe shore up certain categories. I still don't think keeper slots should be traded but most everything else there should be opportunity to acquire assets. I don't understand this thought? That would defeat the purpose of a Trade Deadline, or at least lessen its importance and impact. You're either in it to win it in March or you're selling for the future. Why can't managers respect that and act accordingly? I would also be open to discussing potentially shrinking keeper slots to 8. To inspire more parity and add even more quality to the waiver draft. Just some thoughts as we move into another off season. This is a Keep 10 league. Always has been. Why not just redraft our entire teams every year? Creates even more 'parity'. Well, because that would change the foundation of the league. I've built my team with Keep 10 in mind for 11+ years, why should I be forced into giving up my quality players to the poor managers of the league who didn't have the good sense to build a better club in the first place? Why are people constantly looking to help the weak? Help yourself or fuck off and die. Too much?  Great job Commish, I agree with everything stated, I'm happy to see the Warning System back because it holds managers accountable. Firings should be a thing, I don't agree that team placement should play no part, you should be improving or you should be fired, my opinion. Otherwise you get managers who stay around sucking without making the playoffs for 10 years. You're either good or you're bad. You either have the ability to improve your team, within a reasonable amount of time, or you don't and need to be fired and replaced. I would suggest a 3 year window of opportunity, the Bottom 6 have 3 years to improve their standing by 2 placements. If you were in 12th place this past season you have 2 more seasons to make 10th place or better, etc. If you make the playoffs this rule doesn't apply, strictly for the Bottom 6. |

So exciting.
You better make that pick or trade it! I'm excited to see if we can use up all the draft picks this year.
