Everybody still active in the league? I hope for it to be relatively competitive. I haven't done much with my team just because I want to see how the first 5-10 games of the season go.

 

And I still haven't found a way to make the Shizzle someone else's team. If I can't I will play it like a normal team as much as possible and will not be allowed to trade inbetween the Shizzle and the NO MA'AM.

Yashin is a perennial underachiever. Last season he was actually put on the third line to punish him. He's too talented to waive, but you might want to try for a trade.

 

Vinnie Lecavalier kicks much ass. He's a keeper. Tkachuk should play well this year, no clue about Friesen. Hejduk is great, but Bure has messed up knees. Look to trade or even waive the guy and pick up a better winger.

 

Kolzig is ok, but Roloson won't give you more than half of the starts from the Wild. Try and get Manny Fernandez if he's on waivers. If he isn't, maybe try trading him to whoever has him. In the meantime, check to see if a guy like Hackett or Aesbischer is available on waivers.

You have a fair amount of talent in the forwards, but let me say this:

 

YOUR DEFENSE SUCKS

 

Get rid of Roman Hamrlik, and Alex Zhitnik. Try and get Filip Kuba or Robyn Regehr to solid you up on defense. Dan Boyle is a good offensive guy, but isn't going to be stellar on defense. Sergei Zubov is in the same boat as Boyle.

 

And try to get a sleeper in your net like Mike Dunham or Tommy Salo.

From Yahoo's Own Notes of Heatley (as well as every newspaper covering the tragic event):

 

Oct 4 Adding to Atlanta Thrashers star Dany Heatley's woes comes the news that an MRI on Friday shows he has completely torn his right ACL and MCL and also has a torn lateral meniscus. Still facing charges from last week's car accident that left teammate Dan Snyder critically injured, Heatley will undergo surgery on his knee sometime in the next seven to 10 days and was scheduled to have surgery on his broken jaw on Saturday.

 

Advice: Heatley, the Thrashers' leading scorer last season, will be sidelined indefinitely.

If this was a keeper league, you might want to keep the guy. But he most likely won't be back for a while, so why keep him? Just a waste of space when every other team has an extra player putting up extra points.

Ok, so my opponent gets a tie. Having more ties counts as a point? That is bizarre. Games started seems like a weird stat to keep as well. Could we change it to stick with just Wins, maybe? Or Wins/Losses? That seems better.

It's a statistical category that IS important. How many teams have won a playoff position by a single point from a tie? A lot. Besides, they worked hard for that tie, and deservedly so.

 

Thus it should be classified. And it's the person who has the most totals for that category that gets a point.

 

Which is why I'm currently up 11-1 against the Leafs.
