Guide opens for me fine, but I have a problem opening the draft list.
I think this is the first year for the file to be an .xlsx (newer Excel version) instead of an .xls file. Usually excel will just convert the file (never had a problem before) but I get an error msg on this one: "The converter failed to open the file".

Dobber you probably should just save it as an old excel format for backwards compatibility of excel...I don't imagine you are using any of the new xlsx features so it should translate fine

Downloaded trial version of Office2010... file opens after having to do some kind of repair... but then I see that the list will be available on Wednesday. I'll wait til then to see if everything is good.

a quick correction i noticed.

On the Philly comments on their projections page, you stated Leighton will be the starter. (Dobber's confidence that Leighton will be the starter: 100%). I think you mean to say Bryzgalov.

Carry on.

Absolutely do this.

I opened the Guide as a PDF in Firefox - zero issues.

can you try saving it to disk via Firefox and then try to open it from your hard drive Shoeless? I think that's what is causing the issue for some odd reason

Not sure if there is one started but I couldnt find one. If there is sorry in advance.

I'm sure there are a few but I'll just name two to get it started.

Detroit - Second Goalie - Should say Ty Conklin

Montreal - Says Alex Auld but should say Petr Budaj since Auld signed in Ottawa

Well I went back and downloaded by saving rather than opening - it downloaded and I opened it with no problems.

But I am not very tech savvy so maybe get someone else to check as well.

Works well for me too.

Though I encountered the same bug as playmaker26.
