One idea as well, rather than a typical sim rerate league, players would be rated based on their actual sim performance. Has some kinks to work out, but keepind some stats random we could use actual produced stats to create a system to rate players based on performance in pros and AHL

My ideas, with some help from Bryce:

- Keeper league. You keep 2-3 players each year, and draft a new team each year.

- A relegation style league. One 18 team league, one 12 team league. 18 team league would be the top league, 12 team league would be the lower league. At the end of the season, the bottom 3-4 teams from the top league get relegated to the lowere league. The top 3-4 teams in the lower league get promoted to the top league. Problem is, a potential lot of work.

- Give the cap amount to each GM, and the GM has to buy their players. There would be the case of having multiple players on each team. Players would be priced as the NHL cap hit or salary. Some Fantasy leagues for other sports have a similar structure. Trading wouldn't be conventional, though.

I'm only interested if there's a niche that intrigues me.

Kirk not asking for a trade every day? Could be a strong candidate!

These two ideas are intriguing.... I do believe a draft does encourage activity... though i would be afraid that everyone just turns up for the draft then is never heard from again....

However with the second idea, i think there would be a bit of confusion if a team could have an entire forward line consisting of three Crosby's

I would probably only suggest to allowing duplications throughout the league, not on ones own team.

love the idea Eric.

I would support that 100 percent...

For the record I think duplicate players is retarded

I would absolutely love to see a cash keeper league with a live draft.......I'm in a couple yahoo (head to head) and cbs (rotisarre) leagues and think a sim league with the same idea would be lots of fun. Let teams keep 5 guys a yr and go from there.

It creates a league that any team can win in any year and it wouldn't matter if we fluxuated from 12 teams to 20 teams from yr to yr. With the addition of new teams we instituated as Eric said a top half and bottom half on the previous yrs standings to split up the prize money.

We have a salary cap and the keepers count towards that cap. Sounds complicated but I think with some work and tweaking it could be a really fun league ????

Don't think I'd be to interested in another free sim league. I find BRHL2 to be the best league just because of the $$$ aspect and (feel) it does attract the best and most active GM's. I'd be in for another cash NHL Rerate league but I don't know if it's feasible with all the turn over we seem to have within this group..... it'll just end up like BRHL2 within a couple seasons with a couple dominant teams.

I agree with Tyler. I would be interested in a fantasy keeper league. However, I would not be interested in head to head unless it was well thought out. I believe the best way to do fantasy hockey is straight overall points. Either 1 point for a goal, 1 point for an apple or 2 points for a goal and 1 for an apple.

As per Bryce, "duplicate players is retarded". Agreed.

I would like to see a format with 12 forwards, 6 D and 1 goalie. However, I would be most in favor of only 2-3 keepers. Once you get into the 3-5 range the draft every year becomes very watered down.

I think a salary cap could get too confusing.

Are you guys talking about a straight sim league, or a fantasy league?

- Duplicate players is retarded.

- Didn't say I want head to head or rotisarre I thought this would be a sim league with the BRHL ratings used and simmed out each yr? I'd be into doing either though with GM's of this league!

- The only way this would work is to have a live auction. I do this in a 16 team baseball pool and it takes around 8 - 10 hrs and is a complete drunken **** show by the time it is over...... doing it over the internet would be near impossible. It was just a idea that obviously wasn't to thought through haha biggrin

- The idea with the keepers Kirk was with a salary cap in mind and it actually works really good. If you have a cap of 30 M and Crosby makes 6 or 7 that team really can't keep much else as opposed to the team that had Stamkos Kopitar and Doughty at 2 dollars before they all had huge break out yrs last year kind of thing? It works really good in that system and having a 20 team league and 30 NHL teams it doesn't get that watered down. Really fun but probably not logistical.

- We also make each team keep track of their own salary cap for the draft and if they go over when the commish goes to enter there line up a couple days later they lose there highest paid contract and he goes on the waiver wire 3 weeks into the season.....which makes it interesting with booze involved biggrin

Good Night

Pretty interesting idea to have a sim league that works like a keeper league.. keep 3 or 5 or whatever players every year.. salary cap of course.

Since the BRHL already has league for everything (except sim rerates which isn't desirable) how about a league that is completely different.

It would require quite a bit of work to get started but what about a "classic" league that would start with a fantasy draft invloving any player currently retired from professional hockey. Players could be generated based on the season of their GM's choice.

Gretzky passed to Béliveau... Béliveau drops the puck back to Horton... he shoots! He scores!!!

piggy-backing off this idea...can we start in 1990 or some year like that? I know FHL used to have rosters like that. We can set potentials for each player coming in and sim-rate it from past to present
