Keeping Karlsson – No. 151 – Designing the Ultimate Fantasy Hockey League

Elan Dubrofsky

2017-07-23

With the free agent frenzy in the rearview mirror, it's time to take a step back and go over some fundamentals in the Keeping Karlsson 2017 summer series. This week Brian and Elan argu… er… discuss the various decisions that go into setting up a fantasy hockey league. A number of crucial settings are debated, including rotisserie vs. head to head, categories vs. points, auction vs. snake, etc. Along they way they come up with some new crazy ideas that should probably never see the light of day.

This episode also marks the opening of the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League 2017-18 registration.
