We are now a couple weeks into the inaugural BFHL season. In consideration of the fact that many of you are new to this style of hockey league and the fact that we had changed the ratings slightly (for defencemen) during the draft, we are giving all GMs a chance to love your team that much more. The freebie drop is a one time event, so make the most of it.
Draft is finished!!!
I don't know about you guys but it was pretty painful for me. Imagine going to 46 like originally planned? Anyways, you all got some cap relief because we didn't drop the Farm cap any lower. I know I need it since I'm riding pretty close to cap... Who knows, maybe we'll do some unassigned signing periods. Not sure how that's going to work yet. We will see.
Now some things to consider:
It's been a bit painful but today's the big day. Official start day of the BFHL!
I've now updated the league files to reflect up to round 33. For those of you that uploaded lines already, please download the newest league file and check your roster/lines again since the new players added may have changed some things.
Storm and Supastas, you will need to work on your roster to make it fit under the cap. Please do this asap as we need to figure it out before the sim runs tonight.
Alright guys,
To give you all a chance to see how your roster is turning out and picking out your lineups... I have updated the league file BFHL0.STS to include all your draft players up to round 29. If you've forgotten how to get started, try this link: http://ynohtna.com/bfhl/?q=node/14 .
Please be welcomed to join my sportingnews fantasy hockey league.
For thos unfamiliar, it's more a cap management/stock market type game, hitting guys on hot streaks, dropping them when they tail off, etc etc.
Pick 7 guys, change a couple every so often.

Hey Everyone,
So a few things to talk about here
1) Start Date
Monday, October 5th, 2009 will be the official start day of the Inaugural BFHL season.
The season will be an 82 game season and will be stretched out so that it coincides with the end of the NHL regular season as well.
Summary of Rounds 1-20 for those who wants an easy to search list.
So I was kinda waiting and seeing how the first days have gone and it has been a bit rough. Haven't even finished a full three rounds yet since Sunday. We need to do better.
Thanks for everyone's participation today. We can't do the whole draft in one sitting but at least we have a good start in building our teams.
So we'll continue the draft via the forum. Basically just post your next pick. Post in the order as shown in the first post. There is no editing so make sure of your pick! ;)
So with the first draft day coming this weekend on the 20th, there are some questions to be answered.
First and foremost, note that we will be using both the conference call information that has been set up and emailed around plus we'll keep in online chat contact within the Google doc draft list. Opening the window for chat instructions are at the end of this article.
We all should know by now that the offiicial draft list is accessible here
