Agree with the change. Never liked PIMs anyway, and the game has changed. Used to be you'd get one goon on your squad who was good for 150 PIMs and 4 assists a year.
Not sure if there was anyone last year who got above 100.

I think I heard some coughing that reminded me I'd love to see GAA removed to open up the world of goalies on bad teams. Alternatively, would support remove shutouts. Wins and SV% seem like must haves. Would enjoy trying with one less goalie category.

ID: 1184419 Tue, Sep 14, 2021, 10:35

Anyone else up for removing PIMs and adding BLOCKS?
It looks like we have 7 in favour of adding blocks.
Also i agree with removing a goalie cat. It would make good goalies on bad teams more appealing.
I vote to remove GAA?
|
|
| 31 | The Dienasty
ID: 118699 Tue, Sep 14, 2021, 12:26

I would rather just add Blocks and keep PIMs at the same time. PIMs are indeed down across the board in recent years, but players still accumulate them, albeit in lower quantities. I still find the challenge to find PIMs in roto intriguing and less of a random luck category like say, Shut Outs. But if the league decides to scrap it, im ok.
Speaking of Shut Outs, if there's any one category i could do without, it's this one. Too random from year to year, too few instances occurring that affects too high a proportion of the final roto standings. My vote is to keep GAA and get rid of SOs, and add Blocks.

| 32 | The Dienasty
ID: 5470296 Tue, Sep 14, 2021, 12:30

Another idea may be to add another starting slot for Goalies (3 total). This would allow more bad goalies to come into play. Some may decide to still limit their own starts to preserve GAA and SV%, but it would come at the cost of W’s, for example, making for more intriguing fantasy decisions.

I'm OK with replacing PIM with blocks. It will make some d-men more valuable, but I can live with that. I would also like to get rid of shutouts, every year it's a lottery and has a to big impact for a random catagory.

If we were to remove a goalie stat, I would vote for shutouts. As others have posted, there is more of an element of luck than in other categories and 1 shutout is worth a lot more than 1 in any other category.
I don't have a strong opinion either way on blocks, so I will accept whatever the majority chooses.
I find it hard enough to get 2 decent goalies on my team, so I wouldn't want to increase the number to 3.

Totally support removing shutouts as well. Goalie stats always seem to carry so much wait in fantasy leagues.

ID: 1184419 Wed, Sep 15, 2021, 14:26

Good feedback. For those that have yet to chime in, let's keep the chatter going. Keep the conversations focused on the following areas:
Blocks / PIMs. Shutout category being removed from the goalie stats.

ID: 3310302519 Wed, Sep 15, 2021, 18:32

So is the idea here that we go with only 3 goalie stats? Not saying that's a bad thing, but it seems weird to only be tracking three for the goalies.
While we're kicking things around, it seems odd that we're starting 4 D-men and only three each of C, RW & LW. What do you guys think about dropping down to 3 for each and adding a second UTIL spot?

Re: 37 - I believe the roster setup is just to mimic a typical NHL active line-up (which is actually 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D) but were just cutting one slot from each. We're starting 5D, not 4.
FWIW, im ok with the way it is.

Re: 37
If we want to keep 4 stat categories for goalies, I wonder if replacing shutouts for saves could be a viable option. I can't recall what the minimum GP is for the goalie position, but it might discourage teams from cherry picking game, or just holding on to low volume goalies on great teams (not even sure anyone's actually doing that).

I'm not opposed to adding BLK rather than swap for PIM if it helps for consensus. Mostly like the thought of using BLK. Not a fan of PIM or +/- personally but fine with one thing at a time and finding a happy medium most of all.
Intrigued at the thought of SV over SO as a goalie option. SO still carries a lot of weight without being a category. SV doesn't feel right at first but it somewhat corrects exactly what I want.

I still think that 4 of 11 catagories for goalies is a lot för 2 of 17 starter positions. But Saves is a good replacement for shutouts if we should decide not to remove a goalie catagory.

I am also okay with switching shutouts to saves. It will increase the number of useful goalies by adding some value to bad teams that give up a lot of shots.

I agree that it is time to move on.
I don't see the point of picking his keepers, then skipping his draft picks though. If the proposal is to select his keepers by choosing the top players from the Yahoo ranks, why not draft in the same way?
PS: Can one of the admins update the scoring categories on Yahoo so that we get proper rankings.

I've entered the keepers. Thanks TD.
If we are going to draft TommyD's team based on Yahoo! rankings for TommyD there has to be some sort of penalty for the delay. I'm thinking TommyD should forfeit at least two rounds. Something like the 3rd and 5th round picks. Thoughts?

I'm still picking TommyD's team using the Pre-Season rankings in Yahoo! Eventually I'll need to shift from the rankings in order to complete the roster positions.
Regarding thread 87. I'm not going to put a time limit on picks just yet. Weekends are notoriously slow for picking as and folks have better things to do (I hope). I expect the pace to pick up so we can finish by next week's puck drop.
I will monitor the pace and if I think we are not going to wrap up for me to finish off the admin work i'll put on a time limit for picks and will notify everyone via email.

Am I allowed to choose a replacement now?

Max games needs to be updated to 82.
Re 83: If you are still having problems getting the rosters to update, I wonder if the issue has do do with keepers on Yahoo. Is it possible to turn them off?

Week 2 is underway and my excitement for the pool is dampened by the fact we have not heard from TommyD. The last post from him was September 2nd. Definitely concerning when we don't hear from a longtime gurupie. I'm hopeful he'll return.
In the meantime as a commish i've taken control of his team and i'm making daily changes to ensure the team and the league are not impacted by inactivity. Obviously, I don't plan on making trades, but I will occasionally perform add and drops.
Should we need to recruit another manager (hopefully not) i'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult given the fact that he has the best player on his roster...

Week 1 is in the books and I'm fairly happy with how my team is performing. So far looking good in all point categories. Hopefully the balance is correct but as usual tweaks and injuries are inevitable and i'll have to make a change before someone snipes a player i like.
Injuries can best summarize week 1. I've never seen so many top tier players go down.
Losing players to Covid is still an issue, but we'll work through it. I won't make any adjustments to the roster settings just yet. If the NHL makes an announcement or makes changes then I'll react accordingly.
I'm like the new goalie stat. Way better than shutouts.
Blocks is also growing on me.
Every time i see my player take a penalty i'm excited and then i realize it's no longer a category. lol.

Also really hope TommyD is ok and just MIA for the time being. Do feel like PIM’s are a bit missed, I still get a twinkle in my eye when I see one of my guys rack ‘em up. Perhaps we can visit re-instating PIM’s next year.
Nice to have a long proper 82 game season back.

The team that was drafted so well that it hasn't needed a move all year has coasted in first all year. Until now. The heat is on. Looks like a great battle. The view isn't great from 9th place, but 96.5, 95.5 and 94 top 3 spots is looking like a sweet finish brewing!

Wild card thought with the PIMs comments above, have we ever considered points league, somewhat emulating smallworld putting various point weights on our categories? We like the balance of roto enough that it's never come up? I missed earliest years but don't recall this wild of a thought brought up.

Are weighted points categories possible in a Yahoo League? Might have to move to Fantrax to make that idea work

Heading into the final weekend of the regular season. I think it's certain "The Dynasty" will take the title again. Congrats on a very dedicated run to the top. It was very fun to watch.
Fight for 2nd/3rd and 4th/5th is underway. It will go down to the wire.

Congrats The Dienasty! The autopick team holds on for 2nd, wow. Foot for the bronze, nice job.
115- yahoo does offer a points league, not sure if it can be customized, that's probably a bigger dream though, focus on getting a 12th manager seems to be our top priority for the moment. Sad to not hear any word from tommyd
Another season in the books, thanks all for playing along!

Thanks guys. Great battle, I still can’t believe TommyD - essentially an auto draft team - held court nearly wire to wire this season. Lucky to have pulled it out at the end.
I took an assessment of my team around the All-star break and put in motion a plan that would hopefully max out pts given where the strengths of my team where at the time. Fortunate that it worked out, and Big shout outs to JT Miller, F. Forsberg, Tarasenko, McAvoy, J. Carlson and Shesterkin for absolutely humongous fantasy seasons. They made my otherwise weak draft survivable. Looking forward to defending the title next year.
And while I’m at it, I’d like to put forth early motion to reinstate PIM’s as a skater category (in additions to keeping BLKs), kinda ultimately missed having it. And yes it may be time to reach out for a 12th manager.

Congrats to Dienasty, Foot, for the 1st and 3rd finish and to Cobwebs for 4th. Good job managing your teams down the stretch.
My team fizzled and I'm exhausted. I feel i've ran a 100yd sprint in a 90yd gym.
I was managing my team while also managing TommyD's team (using the commish features). It was mentally draining, especially if i wasn't around a computer. Using a phone to make roster adjustments was cumbersome and frustrating. The commish functions to manage a limbo team is a pain in the ass. Roster adjustments have to be a daily activity (no weekly set it and forget it option), team research is horrendous, and there's no way to utilize the waiver function. Oh well, the lessons we learn eh?
So with that, Two items of business for next season:
1) New manager for TommyD's team - it's an awesome team, holy crap is it good.
and
2) A commissioner for next year. I'd like to take a step back so if anyone wants to take over and assume command let me know.

Hi guys, if the league will have me, id be happy to Commish the upcoming season (maybe with the occasional assist from CSF in case i make a mistep, if he's willing) and get us on track to start the season for another round of RGFHL.
Let me know your thoughts :)
