That will close out the Wings. I'll have a league number tomorrow. Not enough free time at work tonight. My shift is much lighter on Friday evenings, so I should have plenty of time.

And I'm not saying this to knock the league. This is a great theme. But I have BUF dmen in the 80s and 90s. Again, I looked at Minnesota North Stars, and they have nothing on defense.

Is there a way to tweak that rule?
Both LA and Dallas/Minnesota have plenty of D-men in the 70s and 80s for under $5 million. Edmonton may not, but then again, since each franchise can be picked twice, Edmonton doesn't have to be taken by anyone if nobody wants that challenge.
With Edmonton you can twist Coffey to his D 87 season. Problem is, everyone else is Huge $pensive. I'm going to put an Oiler team together.. Keep it on the shelf and if someone quits or is a no show.. might enter it. Usually themes have one or two who either forget, or just don't ans site mails and etc

I think if you can get a 91, two low 80's and 3 good 70's you will be okay with this

That makes perfectly good sense, because Brian Sutter and Federko were both taken in WHA drafts. So.. no Oiler team

I drafted the Oilers 3x and couldn't make it work, especially on defense. Too bad. Could Kurri score enough to make up for it? I doubt it.

And you need the 65D Coffey with the points just to generate points from that backend.

Shift work can be a killer. used to work as shift engineer in a Refinery. Good $ but they went on rotating 12's thinking 4 on and 4 off would be great, but off night shift, you are 3 days re adjusting. Forever dead tired.

Former sched was 7-2-7-2-6-4off Nights afternoons, days. You had actually 5 straight days off every month. Easy to adjust because just one total body clock swing every 28 days. I quit after a year of that torture shift. Took a job for 3/4 the pay and NO UNION. Designing piping systems, condensate returns systems _for a pulp mill project) and drawing the G.L. Little stress, and a fun job. Not so much in a refinery when you have a fire breakout in an oily water sewer. It goes BOOM and all the manhole cover lids fly into the air.Dumb welders.. then there's the explosion.. no fun at all.

Meteorologist can stay on one shift for a month?

I've been on the same shift for nearly 2 years. My hours don't change, but the workload does on certain days.

That's a WHOLE lot better than rotation, unless you are on nights all the time.
