Great posts guys. I'm enjoying the read.

Fun read for a n00bs like me. I read some other stories in the Fantrax chat. Wild stuff.

Hey King, didn't know you joined another league on this site. How's it going?

King is building his fantasy hockey empire! I'm guess his strategy is "Conquer the West!"

My 1st year in FNHL things were run pretty well by hockeyfreak3000 and Gilly

It was when Gilly ditched FNHL in 2012 that I jumped in to help keep things afloat for what was supposed to be 1 year but 8 yrs later I’m still around though PPG is in the driver’s seat most days.

The odd thing was some other guy named Sizzrat ( GMed ) initially said he wanted to commish starting 2012-13 but bailed shortly after saying that and dropped off the face of the earth.

So I'm Sizzrat 2.0?!!!! Really!??

Did the world not see what Gilly was doing. The best was when Gilly snuck into FNHL as Bridgestone.

Can you imagine Gilly sneaking back into a league he left high and dry only to try the backdoor and pretend he was another person and zero accountability for leaving 30 teams in limbo?

The worst part was the excuses & attempt to troll PR for a fight then dragging Colby/Profsl owner into the mix and get PR banned. Imagine that. And they actually sided with Gilly at first.

Well, fast fwd 10yrs and look where that other gent is and what we've done with FNHL.

I had some lore with Anton Forsberg too! I bought him out because I thought 3.3m was too much money. He ended up starting a few games to end the season and then I believe he went to Chicago. He ended up going for something crazy like 14m per in the offseason. Sharks won him. Owner sold Sharks and bought Wild. Wild traded for that albatross. Wild dropped him in the middle of the supplemental draft, when they weren't even up to draft, and I took him. Wild GM is still paying 5.2m for the next 2 yrs while he is hanging out in my minors. Worst contract ever handed out in this league and its probably not close.

I started with the Blues here and one of my favorite picks I made with them was D Esa Lindell in the 4th round. I had no idea he would be anything, but I did make a trade with Ripper for him to come to Edmonton. I even made that trade before he ever made it to the league. Pretty good return on investment on this player. That is why drafting is fun, because you never know where you will find the next contributor to your franchise.

BB is also a longtime GM here.

Esa Lindell was a very nice pick. I though he was good but not as good as he's turned out to be. Definitely one that got away for me.

That Anton Forsberg drop was textbook Indians. Of course Jonathan saw it all the way and jumped on Anton who appeared to be heir apparent to be #1 in Chicago that year. And that BO cap hit is still brutal.

One of the great things about FNHL is how we all value draft picks. Credit to PR & PPG for ensuring they have value and aren't afterthoughts. I love me a good draft and this year's prospect crop looks promising.

My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly.

I think I was in BY for all of a week or 2 when I first joined Profsl. I didn't reply to a PM for 5-7 days and got kicked out by Drew for not being active enough for his precious BY. You could tell the guy had too much time and no family, definitely no kids or a house. All I could do was laugh. My guess is the guy actually created spawn now and understand he was premature with his decision. From what I hear he disappears for stretches now. Karma.

How does this indirectly involve FNHL?

Well, all I can say is after that regrettable encounter with Drew, I appreciate how professional and mature PR & PPG are in this league. People seem to get it here. Play hard but relax and don't let stuff wind you up.

Then seeing how Drew used commish privileges to retroactively adjust his lineup numerous times to win matchups just made a lot of us question those FNHL champions. It did for me. Maybe that huge Anton Forsberg BO cap hit is bad karma slapping the face of that Minnesota Wild franchise.
