If you don't get enough confirmations before you start then I'm interested.

Are we still a go for tonight even though we still have spots open?

Also, does anyone know if you can draft from a Samsung Tab? Was hoping to use that instead of my laptop.

Tonight's not the best for me, and anyways, if it's not full we might as well wait a couple days. We got 3 spots open as far as I know if anyone still wants to join, but FlamesFanStrandedInEdm may want to confirm...

Also, Change of Plans for the Goaltending.

Instead of by team, we will just have 3 Goalies per team,

If I could make one suggestion, from my experience getting rid of bench spots works well as when some players are out of it, they stop updating and it causes havoc, especially in head to head format. Also, I checked and there are 4 goalie spots, is that a bit much for 14 players?

I've never done this. How do you "win" a game?

Just did a mock draft with the yahoo fantasy app on my Galaxy Tab. Worked well.

Sad to see the draft was pushed back I was excited

I had to delete my yahoo account because it was apparently sending spam. That's likely why my team was dropped. I've rejoined, hopefully this won't conflict with the CP live draft or else I'll be auto drafting with a preset list.

Yeah, Sorry guys about the delay.

As of 4:45, we only had 10 teams, but just had 4 join in the last half hour.

The good news about a Oct 5th Draft. Is the Rosters will look pretty much finalized as the pre-season concludes.

With the rosters as large as they are, and only having 3 bench spots, I don't think it will be a huge crisis.

The 4 Goalies was set when we were going to have "Team Goaltending" (Starter and backups) but with the sure autodrafters, it would be difficult to enforce and would be a gongshow. I scaled back to 2 Goalies per team, requesting no one carry more than 3)

It is currently full.

Its possible to add teams to it, but I'd be concerned about the number of available goaltenders....

Thoughts?

I can't see the harm in opening up a couple spots.

2 goaltenders each x 14 players is 28 goaltenders. We have 30 teams in the league with 2 goaltenders each, so that's a pool of 60 goalies. Lots of teams use the 2 tender system so it's not like there are 30 goaltenders and that's it. Probably more realistically 45 out there that will see significant playing time this year. We could open up 2-4 more spots.

Makes drafting more skilled as well. You can't just pick premier players on your bench, you have to start looking at depth players.

Looks like the CP live draft will be Sunday evening so I would be willing to give up my spot to someone who is able to draft rather than autodrafting myself.

I am unable to delete my team myself (due to the matches being set), but I assume you can boot my team?
