you realize to win the league you need to make the playoffs first?SuperMario wroteCOLON2010-2011 BBKL Champions: Pittsburgh Penguins
bergey wroteCOLONi personally would put a bet on Penguins flopping due to shitty goaltending. You will no more than a bubble team, and if you do make the playoffs ... your out first round.
ie: Flyers & Caps, both expected to make top 3 in the east last season .. they didnt make the cut, no offense fella's. Just making a point.

Ville Leino, 14 pts in 15 playoff games doesn't even make my starting roster.
that's real talk.

Good luck Shiv, Kareem and whoever else thinks they can hang
This is way I'm fighting for free agency.. because it's not easy being this fucking good!!
I never said it was.. I was just wishing everyone who thinks they can hang good luck. Although barring injuries, I'm pretty confident in that team above!!facey wroteCOLONits by no means the run away favourite... even if it's still full of elite h2h players....Raptactics wroteCOLONCenters:

Absolutely.. it just sucks that like 4 teams have a shot at winning this season.. actually it's sadfacey wroteCOLONlol.. and if kareem/shiv/myself/steve/etc weren't confident in their respective rosters they wouldn't be posting either!
That's the key, we all saw what injuries did to myself and Nick, as well as Kyle in the beginning.Raptactics wroteCOLONI never said it was.. I was just wishing everyone who thinks they can hang good luck. Although barring injuries, I'm pretty confident in that team above!!
I can say that.. lolMSP4LYFE wroteCOLONI'm not gonna lie, I think I'm in the best posisition, come deadline time I have (arguably) the best farm system among the contenders, I can easily acquire that piece to put me over the top without hurting my BBKL roster, how many of you (outside Nick) can say the same?
Is it? I would argue the same holds true in any sport...Definately in basketball (BOS, LA, CLE, ORL), Baseball (NYY, BOS, LAD, PHI), soccer (Real Madrid, Barcelona/Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Millan/Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United) and arguably even hockey (CHI, PIT, DET, SJS, PHI)...The only sport where I would argue there are multiple legit contenders is football.Raptactics wroteCOLONAbsolutely.. it just sucks that like 4 teams have a shot at winning this season.. actually it's sadfacey wroteCOLONlol.. and if kareem/shiv/myself/steve/etc weren't confident in their respective rosters they wouldn't be posting either!
Perhaps, but underrated won't help you when you need to make a big deal, the big name prospects will.Raptactics wroteCOLONI can say that.. lolMSP4LYFE wroteCOLONI'm not gonna lie, I think I'm in the best posisition, come deadline time I have (arguably) the best farm system among the contenders, I can easily acquire that piece to put me over the top without hurting my BBKL roster, how many of you (outside Nick) can say the same?
I think my prospect depth is probably the most underrated in this league...
I disagree with hockey.. at the beginning of any season there are around 10-15 legit teams who could feasibly win.. especially with the salary cap!MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONIs it?

LOL - actually, I don't need big names, I need 15 minutes. Also, I'm confident in the group I have and I don't think I'll need to add a piece at all.MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONPerhaps, but underrated won't help you when you need to make a big deal, the big name prospects will.Raptactics wroteCOLONI can say that.. lolMSP4LYFE wroteCOLONI'm not gonna lie, I think I'm in the best posisition, come deadline time I have (arguably) the best farm system among the contenders, I can easily acquire that piece to put me over the top without hurting my BBKL roster, how many of you (outside Nick) can say the same?

So 9-10 teams? I would argue there are 9-10 teams with the same chance as the above, obviously with differing odds, not unlike the real NHL...Raptactics wroteCOLONI disagree with hockey.. at the beginning of any season there are around 10-15 legit teams who could feasibly win.. especially with the salary cap!
This past year I would've said WSH, NJD, PHI, CGY (I picked them at the start of the year), PIT, DET, SJS, CHI, BOS.. I felt they all had consideration to begin the year.
