Backyard NHL / Avs stepping aside
« on: April 19, 2022, 07:53:29 PM »
Guys after this year I need to step aside. I start my CPA program at the end of the month and will need to focus on work and studying for the next 18 months.

I have enjoyed my time but need to focus on real life for the next bit. Work, 3 kids and school is my next 18 months lol

Cheers and I wish you all good luck! Don?t let Tony win anymore titles  :toast:

Backyard NHL / Re: Blues will not return

TONY! The glory days of BNHL were the :soapbox: but unfortunately not something many of us are able to keep up with anymore :(

Sorry guys that the league has become as it has. I started this league a long long time ago and it is my little baby but unfortunately I was unable to look after it anymore. I thank everyone who has tended to it over the years. I am in favour with whatever anyone in charge or wants to be charge has to do to keep it alive but definitely hurts when my unique rule set and realism is lost.

Here is my story if you want to hear it haha. I started this league back in 2011 (almost 11 years ago!). I was a university student so obviously I wanted to keep my mind off of school work as much as possible. During those first 5 years, the league grew and developed into one of the top leagues on the site with such in depth knowledge of the owners and commitment (we rarely had turn off, like 1 or 2 teams a season). We had things like record books, statistics, weekly power rankings, a betting system, and many other things. Since my university days, I have now been a high school teacher for about 7 years and thus my amount time to the league has dramatically decreased. Add into that a few moves and now 3 kids, my time on the league and the website as a whole is nearly non-existant. BNHL was an amazing experience in my life to see something I developed and turn into something where many people enjoyed coming and chatting and competing. Thanks for all the memories within BNHL and maybe catch you all in a bar somewhere for a drink one day.

This isn't a goodbye from me but rather an official goodbye to the baby I created as it evolves into something else haha. Do what you need to keep it running the best you can as I know the time and commitment that goes into running a league of this depth and capacity.

I miss the original Backyard, I absolutely loved the early days when we had such low turnover and tons of super knowledgeable competitive GMs. Those first few years there was so much parity and then Tony started winning lol

Adding another 1st and Comtois was the big upside for me Jarry was going to be expensive to resign so free that money up for more depth

I think the poll says it all 5/18 people have voted in just over 58 hours.

Also I will have to find it but I am pretty sure I signed Alex Formenton to a 3 year 2 way deal @ 0.6m (drafted 47th overall) and brought him up to my NHL roster. And he is unsigned in my AHL roster on the spreadsheet but on my NHL roster on fantrax

I can?t find this transaction so I will take the necessary penalty as deemed fit.

He has been active 17 times this year. I am unsure how you guys want to proceed I was using him to try and win my matchups but it was an honest mistake. Here is what he has done in my wins this year

Oct 23-29
    3 times active (23,25,29)
    -0.05 fp scored
      0.85 fp scored
      0.90 fp scored


Nov 20-26
     1 time active (22)
     0.35 fp scored


I will sign him to the deal and move him up to my NHL roster either way

  • Daddy: Honestly i love the deal because my GMs love it. I dont say good deal bad deal or i like this side better.  My goal is to provide a fair platform where people are free to trade and not be judged because nobody knows for sure how these trades will play out. Lots of ACLs are gonna tear between now and new years.  Im always happy that two strangers with different backgrounds can meet in our league and enjoy freedom to be themselves and do what THEY THINK is best. I love every deal. (Had to share that @Braves) :toast:
