Bunch of fantasy questions coming for ya.

Arcade fantasy groups are up as of a couple minutes ago when I posted. Any thoughts on your matchups? Any groups you think are likely to have some interesting showdowns?

Who did you keep and drop from your keeper league groups, and why?

Long one now. I'm starting to approach the point where I'm thinking about flipping the switch on changing the skater fantasy formula for real- but I still have 2 different contending formulas on what I want to do.

The current formula is,

Goals: 5 points
Assists: 3 points
Hits: 0.4 points
Shots Blocked: 1.5 points

The first is one I might have shown off already (and the one most of my research is on),

Goals: 4 points
Assists: 3 points
Hits: 0.4 points
Shots on goal: 0.3 points
Shots Blocked: 1.2 points

And the other one I'm toying with is,

Goals: 2.5 points
Assists: 2.5 points
Power Play Points: 2.5 points
Hits: 0.4 points
Shots on goal: 0.3 points
Shots Blocked: 1.2 points

Any thoughts on which way you think I should lean towards?

I understand that while the Hartford Whalers were your original NHL team that you followed, the pair of you have transitioned to some level of fandom of the Rangers and Blackhawks respectively. Both seem to be entering a rebuild this season- how do you each feel about how things have wound down so far?

Another important food group I can't believe I haven't brought up yet- Cheesecakes. What kind of cheesecake would you both go for if you had a whole range of them in front of you downtown?

Left field. You're both in upstate New York, and you've probably both heard the idea of splitting upstate off from New York State to create a 51st state. What are your thoughts on the idea?

Finally, by the time you get to these questions, the SHL draft will have happened, and Otis B Driftwood will be on a new SHL team. Slappy, what are your thoughts on where you went, and both of you, how did you think everyone did in the draft in general?
