I had a thought today about the deadline. I would like to make an adjustment to the rules, whihc I feel should have the other member's approval. I feel most of you will agree.

The first posts are the blank spreadsheets with the last couple of seasons stats, and then a list of our picks with projections from a couple hockey magazines.
