Franchise NHL / Re: NHL Hockey's BACK BABY!
« on: July 29, 2020, 08:04:29 PM »
I like the NHL setup in the 2 arenas. There's still music and organ beats. I think I even hear crowd noise added to the game coverage.

53
Seems like it'll be July 10th or later.

54
Agree with keeping the ceiling at 81.5m.

End date should be July 10th to sync with the NHL's re-start and the opening of NHL training camps.

55
Apparently, Vegas will be announced as one of the 2 NHL Hub cities. Makes good sense to me.

56
Well the NHL/Bettman announced the plan to reopen the 2019-20 season today will include:
* elimination of the remainder of the NHL regular season
* move to a 24-team playoff format

I'm thinking of offering up Vegas's lottery ticket.

Vegas field offers for the chance to draft a super talented winger in Alexis Lafreniere.

Vegas might not even pick top 10 if our FNHL draft gets rejigged with the whole COVID situation keeping all matters FNHL and NHL up in the air indefinitely.

:iatp: Nicely done Burke! I wasn't aware they did a redraft. I've tuned out of sports for the most part.

59
I hear the proposed rules for MLB with players in stands when they're supposed to be in the dugout during non-COVID era games. How will a sport like hockey keep players safe. Hockey's a contact sport the last time I checked. Maybe Bettman will revise rules to prevent contact. It'll be like shinny hockey. :rofl:

Franchise NHL / Re: 2020-21 NHL Season: PREDICTIONS?
« on: April 18, 2020, 02:00:07 PM »
My guess, the 2020-21 NHL season will be truncated and feature a 45 game regular season and full playoffs.

Shortened regular season to account for the delay to the 2019-20 season completion.

45 game because they've done something similar during the last labor dispute with 48 games in 2012-13.

The season will start in December with training camps and officially start mid-January as it did in 2012-13 with the 1st regular season game was played January 19th.

Playoffs will follow the regular format with best of 7 series.
. :iatp: PPG is actually Bettman! I think you've got a good plan there PPG. Makes a lot of sense. With a start time of December for next season there should be enough time for the current and even a possible second wave of COVID-19 to pass.

  • 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?
    Today at 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    Today at 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.

  • 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.
    Today at 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    Today at 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
    Today 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.
    Today at 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    Today at 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.
    Today at 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    Today at 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.

  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    Today at 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.
    Today at 05:23:07 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
    Today at 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
    Today at 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.
    Today at 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.
    Today at 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 ;)
    Today at 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
