Re: Fantasy Hockey

I'd prefer to wait to draft until there have been at least a few preseason games, to get a better idea of injuries and which players who had surgery over the summer are likely to need more time.

I'm new to fantasy, but this is kind of where I fall, too.

This is a great point, anon! Thank you for mentioning it, because it was the original reason for picking the final week in September in the first place, and that fact entirely slipped my mind in this discussion.

As I know from my own NHL team, there are still trades, waivers, etc., that happen during training camp and preseason that can affect rankings (not a ton, because we aren't usually talking about blockbusters, but the trade I'm thinking of actually did put a player into a more desirable position with his new NHL team).

This inclines me to wait until the original last weekend in September (so, a week and a half before puck drop) plan. With the other nonnie who chimed in below, that is a couple folks who would like that date, and one who prefers the earlier of Sept. 23rd.

I'll likely make a new sub-thread asking for GM nonnies to weigh in on some of these issues (we also should decide if we want to do a dry-run draft somewhere in the next week, to see how long it takes the auto-draft to schedule us, when we find out our draft order, and to get a feel for how our GMs are picking and adjust accordingly--this might not be advantageous from a strategy standpoint, after all).
