Do our NHL rosters get locked in at the trade deadline btw? I was wondering how that worked.

All the Yahoo free leagues are certainly just for fun I would think! No, you can pick up free agents all the way through the playoffs. Thankfully for me as the only way I can stay competitive is to do so daily...I think I've made more transactions than the rest of the league put together yet the playoffs are gonna be hard for me to make! I do well at most fantasy sports but Hockey remains a mystery!

Well we have a lot of people that appear to have thrown in the towel unfortunately....I've noticed the past few weeks rosters aren't updated at all.

Yeah, that seems to happen in all free fantasy leagues...if half the league takes it seriously, you are lucky! I admit that few make as many changes as I do but there are some folks who haven't made a single transaction since the draft.

Yeah, it is disappointing that nobody trades. I almost never veto a trade unless it's obviously one-sided (like the above), sometimes folks will sign up more than one team in a league and then feed one so you have to watch that too!

Has anyone from this board every got a fantasy league together. That would be pretty cool to do. I only do fantasy football and I am awful. I have finished 8-8-7 the past 3 years.

I usually set up leagues for all major sports (basketball, football, baseball, hockey) on Yahoo...Hockey and Basketball are harder to fill so I have one league for board members (and open to public if not filled) but baseball and football, I set up 2-3! Papa finally had his winning streak broken this year in baseball, football and basketball are always wide open!

hopefully it wasn't me you were trying to trade with.

i update my rosters about 2 weeks in advance because i kept forgetting to go daily and change them. i gave up on trying to go daily once i started getting thrashed in the league -- so i just activate those players who have games ahead of time so at least my team has a "chance."

i've been getting killed on my goalies -- but the only time anyone offered me a goalie (turco), they wanted my two best offensive producers.

raw offensive points are the only categories i win with any regularity, so i'd have just been trading one for the other anyway.

my centers are producing quite well actually, i've been surprised -- Chris Drury is the biggest shock to me so far!
