I'd consider a keeper for sure, but we'd have to drop some of the guys that aren't playing right now.

Off the top of my head I think we could easily do a 10 people league. Pretty sure we got at least 10 active

We could also make a more casual one next season as well as a keeper one. Doesn’t have to exclude everyone.
 
One other thing, my keeper league is scored completely different from this league. They do categories instead of points, so each weekly match has 15 columns...10 skater & 5 goalie..all cumulative for the week. Team goals, assists, points, etc. Goalie wins, saves starts etc. Had I know that, I would've drafted completely differently in our league. Goalies are no where near as crucial as they are in my other league. I drafted Markstrom with my 2nd pick....next year I won't take a goalie before round 5.

Same here, I wasted high picks on goalie and D when really, all that matters in this league is points
 
Point is the easiest and most fun (casual) version of fantasy hockey and is good for this particular league. Head to head takes a little more planning and covering all categories is a challenge. I am down for whatever you guys want to do for next season.

I like the planning, makes it feel like theres more strategy and you’re an actual GM. I’m also glad we went with adding points for PIM though some were against it, it makes waiver pickups in such a deep league still meaningful. It’s also a great equalizer, it minimizes the benefit of winning the draft lottery. If it was purely points without the strategy of head to head in a 20 team league those of us with later picks would’ve been f***ed.

I don't mind the point system, but PIM as positive points is asinine. 2 PIM is worth the same as 4 SOG or one PP or SH point, which is silly. I just don't get how you can plan for that. Clayon Keller got 15 PIM the other day & finishes with 8 points....that's nonsense.

I see it as picking players for grit which isn't rewarded much in fantasy, makes it more like building a team instead of just picking BPA. When it's simply BPA the gap between best and worst teams is insane, especially in a 20 team league. If it weren't for rewarding PIM the waiver wire would be almost pointless with this many teams. We can vote on what to do next year but if we remove PIM I'd like to more heavily weigh hits & blocks then.

I'd be in favor as keeping PIM's as negative points. You shouldn't be rewarding the 3 or 4 teams who have guys like Tom Wilson & Matt or Brady. I'm not going to carry any scrubs simply for that stat, so I have to just ignore it.
 
I wouldn't want PIM to be a negative stat. As was said earlier, you can't plan for it. If one of my guys picks up a fighting major for sticking up for a teammate after a cheap shot or something, I don't want to lose points for that. I can understand not wanting to reward PIM but I wouldn't want it negative. I either lower their value to something like 2 PIM = .5 points or just don't count them at all.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with it the way it is. I actually kind of like it and made waiver claims earlier in the season in part based on the banger stats. But if people want to change it, that's what I would do.

To be clear, I wouldn't want any changes during the season...I was simply talking about moving forward for next year.

100% don’t want PIM as a negative stat. Adds a new element to consider.

Imo… to build off what I said earlier. We need 2 leagues. One bigger one where more causal people can play and who cares if some go inactive. We gotta include anyone on this board who wants to play, that’s part the whole fun in it.

But we also need a keeper one. One that is scored by catagories & including those who want to be active daily. Make it harder and make it a small league. Only members we know will stay in. Or who are willing to transfer their account if they can’t

Anyone's number of games played by your goalies not right for this week? My goalies have played in 2 games and it's reflecting only 1 of the required 3.

There's some error where every person who has him didn't have any stats registered for him last night

Obviously super happy with my team so far, but really kicking myself at the moment for trading Hischier for Barzal. I thought it would break pretty evenly and I was happy to move on from Raymond (which was also a bit of a whiff). :laugh:
 
Im pissed at myself. Lost another week due to a mistake. That’s 3 weeks now I blew. Learning a lot about fantasy this season at least

I’d be way more likely to remain engaged in a keeper league where it’s not just about riding hot streaks, dropping guys who go on IR long term, etc.

Building for future seasons and making deals to help someone’s push while loading yourself up for the next season, gambling on the long game, is much more exciting.
