As everyone is aware, the Covid 19 Virus has halted play and really thrown a wrench into what was shaping up to be an amazing ending to our year.
It is with this in mind admin has made the following decisions.
The Habs won the regular season and will be awarded the $25 prize for the Presidents trophy;
The remaining money ($375) will be split evenly among the remaining playoff teams (All 8 as we were in the first round and only 3 days deep, so even though power house teams like the Stars were destroying those pesky Habs something like 9-3, we can't predict the future and I suppose it is possible they could have come back.) Its unfortunate as we had some really amazing matchups going on!
The DHL will not be rewarding a title this season, unless...
Our rosters are currently locked in Yahoo, so should the season pick up we will determine if it is feasible to reward a champion banner, however this will not result in any change in the distribution of prize money, as who knows what this sort of playoffs will look like in yahoo. But "if" yahoo sets something up to close out the season we will look at it to award a title.
So what will be needed from here on out...
#1. Do not drop or add players in yahoo, non-playoff teams are locked, playoff teams are also locked (minus their 4 weekly moves) treat this like the playoffs are now over and we are moving to proboards for our offseason.
#2. End of Season roster submissions will be due between April 1st and April 10th, this gives a 14 day period to post them up. I mill send out an email and yahoo message but I would hope everyone checks in atleast once between now and then!
#3. Admin will do a team by team audit after all end of season roster submissions have been provided. Once this is completed we will move into our offseason, trades can be completed after this time.
#4. Waiver order will be based on reverse order of regular season finish.
#5. Draft Order, all non-playoff teams will be included in an offline draft lottery using the same formula we always have used. If the NHL does not have a 15 team draft lottery where we can match up teams with actual NHL teams as we have been doing, we will simply do an offline draft using the same odds. The playoff teams will be in reverse order of regular season finish.
If anyone has any questions please post here. Thank-you all for your understanding.

I currently have players like Ron Hainsey, Jake McCabe, Derek Grant on my roster, who I'd like to keep on my team in case the season ends up continuing at some point. But, at the same time, as I post my Final Roster Submission, I wont be including those players since I don't want them next season.
I guess in that case, I will keep all of my players on yahoo, but post my players who I would keep after the season finishes on the Final Roster Thread?

..Which would make the audit not possible?

Correct. Don’t drop any players in yahoo. Leave your yahoo roster as is and pretend the season is over in yahoo and move straight to proboards. In the event the season picks up again your roster will be played out as is in yahoo. As if going back in time Right now you are midweek in your yahoo matchup and have 4 weekly transactions, moving players now in yahoo would mess you up if they do pick it back up. Moving to proboards allows us to continue into the offseason here and “if” they figure something out we will look at the solution at that time, whatever it may be but Atleast yahoo will give us our baseline. Hope that makes sense!

The audit here won’t need yahoo as when the yahoo season ends they delete all the teams etc. We just need to make sure that two teams don’t post they own Sidney Crosby in their end of season roster submission and verify all the picks are in the correct places if we actually get a draft!

End of Season Update;
Just wanted to give a quick update. It looks like the NHL will be opening up training facilities in the near future and will be attempting to finish off the 2019-20 season and award the Stanley Cup! As far as the DHL is concerned though, we are in our offseason and will not be having any further matchups to conclude our year. Its unfortunate, but with out all NHL teams competing we simply can't end our playoff matches properly.
So with this in mind we will be completing our Draft Lottery in the near future (Date will be announced shortly, just wanted to give everyone time to read the lotto rules and bring up any concerns they may have.) Once the draft Lotto is completed, we will await the conclusion of the NHL 2019-20 season and then prep for the DHL 2020-21 season. This could be a short turnover period, where we will have to squeeze in our waiver draft etc.
Offseason rules are in effect until further notice, so only free agent prospects can be picked up still. Feel free to trade. Etc.
Any questions post them here and Admin will reply shortly!
Not everyone signed into the rollcall to say if they would be back. I know this is a trying time for all, but especially for those in some areas. Fantasy Hockey comes after, so for those who are absent or need more time to post their intentions, please take all the time required and we will sort out the logistics when necessary.

Alright Ladies, its looking more and more likely like the NHL will be picking up and starting a season sometime in January. Current talks are a 50+ game season with new divisions. Your admin team will be working on setting up a schedule for the new season (something around 10-12 weeks plus playoffs). In a shortened season not everyone will be afforded the chance to play each other, unless we shorten our weeks up as well. Feel free to post any suggestions on this thread.
With this in mind, it may be a very tight push to get setup. Yahoo is opening on the 10th for adding players, if the NHL has a schedule in place we will be able to post ours, so please check in regularly. We have our Waiver Draft, followed by our opening night roster submissions which are looking to be due somewhere around the start of January.
I just want to thank everyone for your participation over the summer. A wrench was thrown into our routine, but very pleased with how well our league has survived! Stay tuned for more announcements!

If everyone wants to go into your team on yahoo, hit keepers and select all the players who are still on your team, this will save you time reading everyone at a later date.
Peter if you want to give me and Chris co-commish status I’ll take care of setting everyone’s rosters and finalizing the offline draft.

I’ve set the keeper deadline to Dec.16, anyone who wants to save themselves time adding in their players, just check off all your players as keepers (ones you still own from last season). On the 16th I’ll open the league and we will be on our way!

For those who submitted their keepers your teams should have the majority of your players listed. For those who did not I went through and manually selected the first 23 players. The rosters will Not be 100% accurate, anyone with players on IT at the end of last season or made trades etc will not be shown.
So what do you need to do?
The player pool will be available For adds and drops on Dec.19th. Please drop anyone you no longer own. Add anyone you do. This needs to be done on the 19th as any dropped players will need another day to clear waivers and I don’t want to have to manually add and subtract.
That’s it, please remember admin invests a lot of time setting this up, please take the five minutes to get your rosters in order so we don’t have to! We need this all done before Xmas so we can set the waiver draft for around New Years. Anyone who hasn’t completed this will receive coal in their stocking and know I had to spend extra time doing it!
Any questions let us know!

Congrats Habs on the championship, the proboards default has now been changed to the Habs colors…. If other GMs don’t like this, please do a better job in the future of not letting Chris win!

Great job on the dispersal draft to all our owners! Next up is our prospect draft. The prospect draft will begin after the NHL draft has concluded (Truth be told it will probably start early, however you are not able to draft a player in the prospect draft that wasnt drafted by an NHL team so the timer will only start after the NHL draft has concluded).
To our new owners; the summer tends to be a little quieter then the season, but you are encouraged to log in regularly and see whats going on, answer trade offers, etc. We try to stay somewhat active in the offseason. With Covid in the rearview window (hopefully) we should be getting back to normal which means a pretty intense and highly competative league with 16 very active owners!
Best Wishes!

Officially, when does trading start?

Post by Josh - Dallas on Jun 28, 2022 14:57:55 GMT
Just an FYI that the trading window is closed until one week after the dispersal draft. This will allow our new owners time to adjust to the rules without getting bombarded with offers etc. closing the window for everyone til this time just keeps it fair. Hope you all understand. Feel free to discuss trades but no deals until 1 week after the dispersal concludes!
To keep it simple; trading for all will open up July 1st for posting;
reminder; the DHL allows trading of draft picks 3 years out; however, the new year does not start for draft picks until after the completion of the DHL draft. Please do not include future picks that are not eligible in any trades prior to the completion of our prospect draft!
Thanks

I have opened up our yahoo season. Those who had keepers set wont have to add all their players, those who didnt will need to add players to complete their rosters (Just a quick tip for future years, if you check off all your players as keepers they will carry over) I actually meant to do this for everyone but then missed my own deadline to do it haha.
I will set up the divisions in the near future, as well as resetting the waiver order.
Ill give everyone a week or so to get their rosters imported. let me know here if you have any questions.
