For example, say you've already got the Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk and the Hurricanes' Eric Staal as your starting centers, you still draft the Kings' Mike Richards with your next pick because he is the best overall player available.
This strategy gives fantasy owners the ability of having trade options after the draft. They can then deal a player like Richards to a team that lacks an elite center and possibly make out better in the trade.
There are still other strategies out there -- NHL. Plus, once you've decided on which strategy you want to run with on draft day, you can begin to analyze and target the players you want.
That's when the fun starts. Good luck to everyone out there and may the best team win! We encourage you to review it carefully. The NHL uses cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies.

Stream Games. It's that time of year again. Welcome back, fantasy hockey fans! So, you might pay less attention to your goalies and focus all your efforts towards dominating offensively. What if your offense unexpectedly struggles? Is your goaltending good enough to keep you competitive? How often do you see this question asked while you browse through a message board? The answer is too many to count. More often than not, it probably is a correct assumption.
This is especially important in rotisserie leagues. By paying attention to your weak categories, don't be afraid to try to make a deal to improve in a certain area without sacrificing too much in another.
This could also improve your chances against direct competition, especially if the deal helps your squad and could help you catch your trading partner in the process. Your goal should be to win the league, not just the deal.
This is most relevant if your league has a limit on the number of games played at each starting position. If your maximum is set at 82 games, then you have to be extra careful not to use your bench players too often or you risk running out early. Last season, one team used his bench players on a regular basis, and he took a commanding lead by Christmas. It was only late in the season did he start benching players but it was too late.
He still ended up in second place, but only because he had a very good team. Unless your team is dominant and the other managers are sleeping, it's almost impossible to max out early and still win the league. In these leagues, the most active not necessarily the best manager will likely win, unless his team is quite poor. This is an official rule at least in Yahoo , and it appears that many people are still unaware of it. If you have one game remaining in a specific position in Yahoo you will see a minus-1 in red , you can start the maximum number of players into your lineup the following day and receive points for all of them.
With the season finishing on a Sunday, I knew that it would be a light schedule. So, I managed my games played so that I would be minus-1 for all of my skater positions heading into Sunday. In a 10 manager league tracking 10 stat categories, a manager who earns 1st place in every stat category would have points.
When 2 or more teams tie for a stat category, each manager involved gets an average of the total points due. Examples with a league containing 10 managers:. If more than 1 manager ties for 1st place, they'll get co-champion status. There's no playoffs or tiebreakers for the final ranking. You need to have JavaScript enabled to use this page.

Winner 2- 3 Winner: Champion Loser: Runner Up For teams that do not qualify for the playoffs, the season will effectively end after such week 24 the " Fantasy Regular Season ". Rotisserie Scoring Categories In our Rotisserie scoring system, each team will be ranked against the other 11 teams in 10 different categories.
The team with the highest rank in a category will receive 12 points based on the number of teams for that category, the second best 11, and so on. The team with the lowest rank in a category will receive 1 point for that category. The sum of the points for each category will determine a team's score. Each team's goalies must accumulate a combined total of at least 82 games played over the course of the season or it will be placed in last place in the Goalie Save Percentage and Goals Against Average categories.
All leagues that begin after November 1, will use 40 as the minimum. There will be no tie-breaker to determine Rotisserie league champions. Lineup Changes Weekly Lineups Each week, managers have the opportunity to select their starting lineup for the coming week.
If a manager doesn't set a lineup before the weekly lineup deadline explained in the " Deadline to Change Status " section below , the manager's lineup from the previous week will be used. If a manager has an Illegal Lineup, their team will score zero points for the scoring period. For a Rotisserie League, a team will receive no credit for statistics in any week it has an illegal lineup. Deadline to Change Status The deadline for setting your weekly lineup is 5 minutes before the start of the first game of the Scoring Period.
Once the lineup is set for the week, it cannot be changed. Adding and Dropping Players Free Agents Throughout the season you may want to improve your roster by adding available free agents and dropping players who are not performing up to your expectations.
You can submit a free agent request at any time. With the exception of requests for players on Waivers discussed below free agent moves are first-come, first-served and are executed immediately. The first exception is when a manager drops his entire team or a significant number of players, also known as " team dropping ".
Team dropping has a negative impact on the league and as such, any manager who elects to drop his team shall be subject to immediate removal from the league. Players selected from waivers or added from free agency that were part of a team drop may be reversed at our discretion.
In such move reversals, the waiver ranks will not be reset. The second exception is abuse of the waivers process. This is when a team manager adds then drops a series of players, putting those players on waivers and making them inaccessible to other team managers. Waivers To provide an equal opportunity for all managers to add players to their roster, a Waiver process is used.
Requests for players that are on Waivers are not executed immediately but are put in a pending status. The Waiver process allows multiple teams to request the same players. The order in which these requests are processed is based on the Waiver Rank of each team. At that point, the player is considered a free agent, and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. All players who are not drafted will also be placed on waivers once your draft ends.
Any player that is new to the player pool will be placed on Waivers, and subject to the league's Waiver process. Waiver Rank During the waiver process, pending transactions are processed in an order determined by each team's waiver rank. The team with a waiver rank of 1, considered the highest, will get its first requested player. After the transaction is executed, the team's waiver rank is then set to 12 last , and all other teams move up one spot.
If a team's highest pending transaction becomes invalid because another team received the requested player, the transaction gets deleted and the team's next waiver request, if one exists, becomes that team's highest. If a team doesn't have any pending transactions because all players requested were taken by other teams, or the manager simply didn't request any players, there isn't any penalty and the Waiver Rank will not be changed.
Undroppable Players To maintain the integrity of your League, you will be prevented from dropping certain star NHL players throughout the season. Appeals can be sent via the Help Center page and should include the names of the players you want to add and drop. After two managers agree to a trade, the trade will be put in a pending status for at least twenty-four 24 hours. If four 4 managers in your League object to the trade within the pending time period, the trade will not be executed.
However, please note, that trades that do not meet the necessary number of objections are still subject to review by the Commissioner "CBSI" , to determine fairness principles are followed and to keep the integrity of the league. Any trade reviews and determinations by the Commissioner are final. All trades between managers must be made at least twenty-four 24 hours before the first game day of the week and not be disputed by four managers in order to be effective for the current week.
If you make a trade offer, be sure to monitor the status of that offer on the My Team, Trade page as the weekly lineup deadline approaches, to ensure that acceptance of that trade does not cause your team to have an illegal lineup for the current week's Fantasy Matchup. Multi-Player Trades Managers can enter unbalanced multi-player trades such as a three 3 player for one 1 player trade. A trade that results in an illegal roster will be allowed; however, you will be required to enter the necessary transactions to correct your roster before your lineup is due for the coming week.
If your roster is not legal by the weekly deadline, you will receive zero 0 points for that particular week. Trade Deadline Throughout the season, managers can trade players with other teams.
