Welcome to Season 3 of the Bettman Memorial Cup!
http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/thebmc

This is a simple fantasy league running the following settings, and is back for another season after a successful first run:

16 Team League - Head to Head
Roster Positions: C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, Util, G, G, BN, BN, BN, IR
Forwards/Defensemen Stat Categories: Goals (G), Assists (A), Points (P), Plus/Minus (+/-), Penalty Minutes (PIM), Powerplay Points (PPP), Game-Winning Goals (GWG)
Goaltenders Stat Categories: Wins (W), Goals Against Average (GAA), Save Percentage (SV%), Shutouts (SHO)

Season 1 Champions: A Glass of Marleau
Season 2 Champions: HC Andersen

At the moment I'm waiting to see who is returning from last season, and email notices to rejoin have been sent out. The following teams from last season have a while to rejoin for this season, then I'll open it up for new joins probably around mid-late September. The draft is tentatively set for the week prior to the NHL season proper.




SEASON 3 TEAM LIST:
HC Brokomotiv
Holmgren's Heroes
The Babcockalypse
Quebec Coyotes
Handsome Devils
HC Andersen
Mein Schneider!
Caliban's Puck
The Bickell Stabber
Teemu's Salami
The Ralph Richesons
Zucc Suit Riot
The Hockening
Despres For Mojo
Big Body Presence

jakes did this?
I'll be coming back (Mein Schneider) Ginette (Bickell Stabber) and Calibans Puck too I would imagine.

Do you guys think we should have individual league threads this year rather than a catch all fantasy? Maybe a catch all promotion and poo poo and general talk and then these kinds for sign up/rules/trash talk/etc

I didn't do anything last year after the draft because I got distracted by another league I got invited to join with friends, so I think I'll opt out this year.

The NHL fantasy threads seem to die pretty quickly after the drafts happen so I think just one large thread like the past few years would be better than 4-5 individual threads, at least for the normal one-year leagues. I can see that auction league having it's own thread possibly but that's about it. The last couple thread OP's have been good with listing all the different goon leagues and rules.

Updated root post, teams have a couple of weeks to renew then it goes to the people on the wait list.

Alrighty, 2 more days for people to rejoin or it goes to the guys on the waitlist +1 possibly. AceThomas, if you could send me your email to invite you as you're first on the list. Someone has pulled out for certain so there's 1 definite open spot. The rest will likely get your invites on Thursday, so if you could PM or post your emails for invites that would be grand.

Also, as a matter of housekeeping - what date & time is best for you guys to draft? I'm probably going to keep it toward the weekend before the season starts at the moment, but let me know.

Seguin at 3rd is pretty weird in hindsight. That dual eligibility is pretty tops though.

I think it was pretty wide open after Stamkos/Crosby.

I was torn between Seguin and Tavares and took Seguin.

I like my team, but time will tell. I got guys I wanted. :shrug:

Oh yeah, it'll be a fun year. This is my first fantasy league, but I went in convinced I was either gonna scalp goaltenders or defense because they are just naturally a more scarce position. Being 16th kinda forced my hand. We'll see how that works out.

Ov fell to 8. Next year Crosby falls to 87.



Any votes for worst pick? I want to say mug shot Mike but haven't looked over the picks thoroughly.



E: worst, first, whatever.
