In addition to our traditional Yahoo head-to-head league, some people here may also enjoy playing a low-maintenance salary cap league. This league runs the first half of the season (it ends sometime in January, where another season starts).
The basic idea is this: Each team starts with $30M to fill 7 spots: 1 center, 2 wingers, 2 defensemen, 1 goalie and 1 extra attacker. The value of the players are determined by the dynamic market, almost like a stock market. The more times a player is picked up in various leagues, the higher his value rises...this occurs daily. Similarly, when the player is in a slump, his value drops.
Each team is given 2 "trades"/moves a week. If they don't use them, they do stockpile (so after 2 weeks of no moves, in the 3rd week you'll have 6 moves).
When a player is on your team, he earns TSNP. For instance, a goal is 25 points, hattrick is an additional 30 points, a hit is 2 points, each goalie save is 2 ponts, etc. Breakdowns are provided at the TSNP link.
By the end of a season, good managers have $40M+ in salary (I had $48M one year) due to the buy low-sell high phenomenon. Because of the limited salary, and since players like Crosby are $8.3M, you can't afford to lace your team with superstars. This requires some more strategy in picking players that are undervalued. In Dion Phaneuf's debut season, he started at $500,000 (the min salary) and ended up just over $4,000,000 in salary by the end of the season. Finding such "sleeper" picks is in your best interest.
All told, these leagues are more casual than Yahoo. There's a fixed number of trades, and the most important thing is you can have any player you wish, regardless if other teams in your league have him. Everyone can have Crosby if you want.

This is a kind of league where you can take the first 5 minutes to make your choices, then leave it on autopilot for months at a time if you wish. But it's still great fun -- the economic side of things adds an extra dimension.
Any questions?
