Going to be big shoes to fill whoever takes over the Avs.

Out of respect for Snug, I feel like that franchise shouldn't be relocated for at least a year or two!
Would be weird to not see the Avs logo on this page.

In Snugs honor I would also like to see Phil Kessel be the permanent banner.  I can just photoshop different shirts on him to correspond with the champion each year.  Maybe change the hotdogs to something from the champion city (every city has hot dogs I'd never change it).

sniff sniff, that would bring a tear to my eye to have kessel immortalized forever as the league banner.  I know that's what Rob would want since he was simply over joyed when I chose that picture.

Well, It was a great run to end it.  Going to officially turn the team over to Norry today so that he has a chance to drop a couple players under this years cap. 

There is really no way for me to overcome a 70pt deficit with only one full day left.  Its been a lot of fun.  I am sure I will check back every now and then.  Rob knows where to find me when he misses that picture of Phil Kessel.

Norry, I will give you the same advice my dad gives me.  " dont do anything stupid"  ha ha.

Snug, its the end of an era and you're going to be missed around here. But at least I'm glad to hear that the team will be in good hands with Norry.

I think it's a little funny that I'm going to lose the Ranking Contest this year because you are losing the Championship. It feels like your getting one over on me one last time...  :soapbox:

i was saying to rob yesterday , you guys should add or change up some of the rewards since it ends up being pretty much the same 3-4 teams picked for almost all the awards. 

I had suggested

The Bandit or the schister award - Pick the team that pulled of the biggest steal of the year in a trade. 
The Divey - Used the shame the team that has choosen to take the biggest dive , with the strongest roster. 
The goon - team with the most PIMs on the year. 
The Sniper - team that made the best valued Free agent pickup on the season. (not necessarily the best player but best player to dollar value)
The Predator - Goes to the team that made the best draft pick up on the season ( must be from that seasons supplemental draft) . 

That was just a few fun ones I had kicking in my head that would see different teams win some of the awards.

  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.

    Yesterday at 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.

  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
