Welcome dedreger!

Please join me in welcoming Dan as the new LA Kings GM!  Dan is new to ProFSL.  I poached him from Fantasy Hockey Cafe. He comes to us with a boatload of fantasy experience looking to take on the Mountain West division. 

Welcome Dan!  Good luck!

Thanks Rob.  I'm very happy to join the league and looking forward to being here for years to come.  It looks like I've landed right in the frying pan in that division.

To give you all a little background so I'm a little less of an anonymous person on the internet:

* I grew up and live in the Chicago area and have been a Blackhawks fan since I was a kid
* I'm also a bit of a Rangers fan; I lived in NYC in the mid '90s and went to a lot of games at MSG, the highlights being the Games 1 and 7 double overtime games against the Devils in the '94 Conference Finals; experiencing the despondency in the Garden when the Devils tied it at the end of regulation in Game 7 and the joy in the Garden when (ex-Hawk) Matteau won it in 2OT was intense and amazing
* I'm just a hockey fan generally -- I like to listen to the Marek vs. Wyshynski podcast on my commutes and to catch some of the better games around the league on NHL Gamecenter when I have the time
* I’m married and my wife and I had twin girls in March of last year, so it's only been a couple of months since I crawled out of that 1st-year-struggle-for-survival period

Thanks again for letting me play in your sandbox.  It’s going to be fun.

Nice to see another Hawks fan and Chicago guy around here. Sad to see you are a Sox fan though, however with the current state of the Cubs I wouldn't blame you.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.  And congrats to those expecting new additions.

Anthony -- Believe me, there have been many years when I wondered what I was doing stuck in a relationship with the Sox.
