Same - I was 12 or so when they changed over.  Didn't care.

I was 6 when they changed over so don't remember it at all. That was also the year that the Northstars left MN. I didn't start following the NHL until the wild were an expansion team in 2000

The problem with the 'new' geographic division names is that not all align nicely with 5 teams that make sense in each of the Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central, and Pacific Divisions. (And what's with Metropolitan anyway....still think that's weird).

Hockey is about History kids. You may be young now but when you're in your 40's people around you won't know who Drew Doughty or Brad Marchand was. Adams, Patrick, Norris, and Smythe offer geo-neutral Division titles that let us mix and match without the weirdness of Pitsburgh being in the Canadian Division or Las Vegas being in the Pacific.

Long live Lubomir Visnovsky!

Might throw another wrench into this realignment talk with our replacement for Eric.

Here's my new proposal for divisions with the recent relocations.  I used both the new and old names for now until we decide on what to do.  This look OK?

ottawa
toronto
buffalo

METROPOLITAN / PATRICK
pittsburgh
new york rangers
philadelphia
washington
new york islanders

CENTRAL / NORRIS
winnipeg
chicago
st louis
nashville
detroit

PACIFIC / SMYTHE
vancouver
edmonton
vegas
colorado
arizona

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    May 05, 2024, 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    May 05, 2024, 02:40:07 PM
  • Daddy: Also... Ive got a nice private island full of beautiful women to sell you. Pay me upfront and i will send you its coordinates. We call it the Virgin Daddy Islands. $5k reserves it for your future.
    May 05, 2024, 02:41:59 PM
  • 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.
    May 05, 2024, 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    May 05, 2024, 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    May 05, 2024, 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.
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    May 05, 2024, 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    May 05, 2024, 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    May 05, 2024, 05:15:18 PM
  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    May 05, 2024, 05:21:23 PM
  • Daddy: Until someone starts a minor league baseball fantasy game or option. Maybe we can petition fantrax? I just dont think they will care for that.
    May 05, 2024, 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.
    May 05, 2024, 05:24:17 PM
  • Daddy: Stcesorp meht kcuf
    May 05, 2024, 05:26:02 PM
  • Daddy: Stcepsorp*
    May 05, 2024, 05:26:33 PM
  • 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
    May 05, 2024, 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    May 05, 2024, 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    May 05, 2024, 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    May 05, 2024, 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    May 05, 2024, 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
    May 05, 2024, 06:45:54 PM

    Yesterday at 07:06:43 PM
  • Daddy: Now either there are a lot of people copying our style or trying to learn it.. or possibly there is just that much interest by visitors. Maybe both. Either way, we got to be doing something right. The NHL LIVE season, will start with an amateur draft.
