Suggestion/ Reccommendation
« on: August 21, 2018, 10:34:52 PM »
We all know PROFSL isn't like it once was. I have a hard time believing we will find active GM's to fill the vacant teams. I recommend we shrink the league.......put all the vacant players into the FA pool and let us drop 3 players and have a supplemental draft of 3 rounds. Worry about the entry draft later.

If we allow the league to shrink........there will be a very good pool of good players. This league would still be alive......and VERY competitive........IMO. Let's get some thoughts and feed back as the season is fast approaching...... :toth: :toth:

I'd give it another week. There are still a lot of hockey guys on site.

It's not a bad idea, but I agree with Jonathan for the time being. I want to try a little bit of recruiting first.

Happy to hear what other owners think.

While we are waiting for the GM's to check-in and vacancies to be filled we should update this seasons timeline re: the draft, waiver-free, and free-agency. Set some hard dates starting with the draft and auto-pick for any no-shows. Let's get it in gear.

If you need to manage an owned league team I could do it until you find a manager.

Always willing to step up, I love it. We'll see how it goes. I am still in the process of recruiting.

If anyone knows people who would be a quality fantasy hockey GM, talk to them about signing up for Backyard!

  • Daddy: @Rhino7 the previous Raiders ownership traded 11 picks for Aaron Donald.
    Yesterday at 02:48:03 PM
  • Daddy: Ive never seen that many picks moved except for Aaron Donald & Darius Slayton.
    Yesterday at 02:49:05 PM
  • jmntl82: Those are some high level names right there
    Yesterday at 02:49:57 PM
  • Daddy: We let GMs cook to their own visions. Picks are useless if you dont hit on them and not all draft classes are the same.
    Yesterday at 02:52:32 PM
  • Daddy: While im not always right... My personal evaluation is unless you are a true contender this 2024 class isnt one to sit out on.
    Yesterday at 02:53:22 PM
  • Daddy: I want to keep saying.. i do not know everything about sports. Nobody does. I am going to say that i know more than most and im not ashamed or embarrassed to say that.
    Yesterday at 02:54:37 PM
  • Daddy: This 2024 NFL Draft class is better than 90% of every draft ive witnessed since 1980. In NFL LIVE if you arent a top ten team, i strongly urge that you invest in 2024 draft.
    Yesterday at 02:56:18 PM
  • Daddy: Traded all your picks? So what
    Yesterday at 02:57:32 PM
  • Daddy: Look at the Rams. Look how young my team is. I hardly ever draft. There is more than one way to invest in young talent. The easiest way is the draft but its not the only way.

  • Speedster18431: Well if no one wants their 2024 picks let me know lol

    Yesterday at 03:14:18 PM
  • Daddy: Unlike all these other sports, THE NFL IS A YOUNG MANS GAME. Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, play till your 40. Not just the greats... Jamie Moyer was never great, pitched till he was 44.
    Yesterday at 03:16:08 PM
  • Daddy: When current players hold their jobs ten, fifteen, twenty years... It means that many years of prospect blocking. In whatever sport.
    Yesterday at 03:17:23 PM

  • Daddy: NHL/NFL/MLB LIVE GMs be warned, if you miss a week, you miss a lot in those leagues. Take your time building, take your time evaluating, learn at your own pace.
    Yesterday at 06:22:23 PM
  • Daddy: Just know, if you miss time at any point of the year, not just the active season. You have missed a lot. You've probably fallen behind your competition. Ten-Fifteen guys in all three of those leagues dont ever miss any opportunities.
    Yesterday at 06:24:04 PM
  • Daddy: One more thing. The NFL LIVE waiting list is longer than you see on profsl or fantrax. There are people that know people that want in that league. No pressure on anyone but i cant just hold your franchise while you draft and do nothing else.
    Yesterday at 06:33:37 PM
  • Daddy: i built College football for you guys that do that. Great scoring system, no trades, set your lineup and go getm! NFL moves too fast for that mentality. Apologies.

  • Daddy: Dynasty fantasy sports isnt for everyone. It requires patience, skill, planning, the ability to communicate thought into written word. Most times dealing with complete strangers located all over the map.
    Yesterday at 11:19:46 PM
  • Daddy: There are easier hobbies. PlayStation/Xbox, Yoga, psychic readings, ghost hunting, bunji jumping etc etc. Everyone cant do this. There is no shame.
    Yesterday at 11:22:04 PM
