Who on this board would be interested in starting a permanent pool? What I would propose would be a pool where we keep our players during the offseason and just continue on from year to year. We would have an initial draft where we would take say nine forwards, four defencemen and two goalies. Whatever is leftover would then enter a free agent pool. We could have a rookie draft at the begining of the year to replace retired players etc. I think this would add a touch of reality and would give bragging rights to the poolster who wins. We would undoubtedly have to deal with rebuilding a team due to retirements and the erosion of skills that all players undergo.
Unfortuatley, I am not even sure that this is feasable, but I think it would be alot of fun, but like I said I am not even sure it would be feasable and I am about as computer literate as a stick. What do you guys and gals think?

Yeah, We could always expand to include more teams in future years. I think it would be fun. We gotta find a commish who knows a little about these things tho. I just don't have computer skills for it. I nominate Roggy if he has the time. ;D

The kind of league where we can put young players in reserve and activate them when they start becoming productive NHLers.
I'd be very interested in being part of one.

Cool. That makes six of us so far. I would think we would need at least 10 teams to start with. Like I said earlier, we can always expand later. I'll check with Big D. I would think he would be interested.

That's exactly the format I was going to adapt this year....in fact Roggy and I were chatting about it last season...but alas, I was M.I.A. and it didn't happen. Never too late to try it though. CO

Of course. It wouldn't be the same without you. We just need to get enough people in on it. I won't be able to run it though with my being away so much. We need a few vouenteers for the post of Grand Poo bah, and assistant grand po bah. It's really just an idea I am floating for now untill someone with the time and knowledge put it into gear.

I'm not sure how these pools work,but it would be kind of neat if in a case where the team wants to sign a UFA he has to drop a player but that player has to clear waivers before he is available to everybody. HFTO

Thank you. ;D I'm not sure if I could help but I'm open to it. This is the very first year I have run a Hockey Pool and there is lots more to it than I thought. I had to call on Roggy a few times for help, but maybe now that I have one under my belt I could help. Any reason why it couldn't be on Office Pools?

HFTO Yeah. I like that idea too Phil. The more realistic we could make it the better as far as I'm concerned. As near as I can tell, we have 10 people interested. Myself, Pam, Roggy, HFTO, wade, MPLABBE, CO, Viper, Big D, mr hand. A few more would probably be good. If anyone else has any ideas, don't be afraid to speak up. C'mon Marc...I know you are thinking of something .

since you asked we could have: - reserve lists where we keep young players(great prospects) there until they develop in this league
- the waivers idea Phil is proposing
- A payroll limit
- A free agent pool
- A trade deadline

Just one small favor Almighty Rogmeister. The only time I can really get to do this thing will be anyday or night between Nov 6 evening and Nov 11 evening if that will work for everyone else. I hate to be a pain in the a$$, but thats the only time I am avaliable.

I hate to be a pain in the a$$, but thats the only time I am avaliable. OK, I should be available during those times. I'm going to send an message using the proboards instant message thingy to everyone that has expressed interest. If anyone reading this is interested in joining the keeper league, please reply to this thread, send me an instant message, or email me at reidtanigami@hotmail.comI'll try and come up with some rules, so if anyone has anymore suggestions, get them in quick.
