I vote we do a complete overhaul of these leagues and their scoring and formatting. We stick with week-to-week matchups but we switch from a category based system to a point scoring system. PIMs need to be eliminated, plain and simple. Faceoff wins are also meaningless in fantasy hockey. Here is the format I use for multiple leagues that works incredibly well:
Players:
G - 3
A - 1.5
+/- - 0.5 either way
PPP - 1 additional for each point (goal or assist)
SHG - 5
SHA - 3
GWG - 1
SOG - .1
Hit - 0.2
Block - 0.5
Goalies:
Win: 5 Points
Shutout: 5 Points
Save: .2
Goal Against: -1
Loss: -2
This makes matchups much more competitive each week. It also values key parts of the game and allows certain players to retain fantasy value without simply being PIM leaders. For instance Gudas still has value in these leagues because he hits a ton.
It also makes goalies more interesting. For instance, in our current format, say you have Jake Oettinger and he starts a Monday night game and gets shelled for 7 goals. Well chances are, unless Jake or your other goalie players out of their mind in their remaining games, you just lost 3-4 categories off of one terrible start.
With this format, the one bad start doesn't kill you. Sure, you lose some points but they can easily be made up by other members of your team.
I know this is a big change but I think we've been doing this current format for over a decade and a change of pace might be nice. Even the league re-evaluates their formats every so often. Last year's rankings with Kucherov being the Art Ross winning and ranking out of the top 10 while JT Miller is the #1 player in the league according to our stat format......then shit is clearly broken.
In no hockey league in the world are hits or PIMs as valuable as goals and assists, no matter what. Giving them the same weight in a category-based format just makes no sense IMO.

Don't blame the goalie!
@ProjectPanthers panthers I did give it thought, and I'm really sorry I'm not so thrilled with the new setup.
With as much emphasis on scoring, it seems those lucky enough to draft the first 5 spots has a good advantage over those who don't. And if someones top goal scorer gets hurt they're screwed. Whoever picks amongst the first will also have first dibs on goalies, and if someone does go rogue and picks a goalie instead of a goal scorer, they just shot themselves in the foot.
I like that JT Miller is ranked 1st because he's does it all.
I like that whoever picks the top point getters isn't handed a win every week and that the cumulation of each category holds weight.
I like chasing previous years records. Changing everything takes away the prestige of previous years.
If you guys wanna break away and do it that way, I won't take it personally just as i hope you don't take it personally that I'm making the suggestion. So yeah @Beezer if you tell me you wanna keep things the same, we should. Well just take whoever from the B league that wants to join which ever format to fill it out.
Raw and Smackdown rosters if you will lol
OR I'm down to try both types with the same A cast as a test season, but i like what we got and ion't want to lose what we've built up so far.
To me this kinda change took Ronald and the colorful fun away and turned McDonald's beige lol

I get it, on wanting a change and it may be good. Right now I don’t have the time to implement a complete overhaul of our leagues though. I’m ok removing the PIMs if you guys prefer for now. And we can keep a dialogue on making a bigger change next season in this thread.
Hey guys, I’m out this year. The suggested change sounds like it would take a little less time, but I’m on the road a lot as I cover the whole SouthEast of the country these days, I don’t have time (or just forget) to check on who I need to pick up.
I wish everyone a great season, though.

Aww i like adding the fighters!
If we do change that much, maybe blocked shots instead?

This system does far from allowing the "top point scorers" to win the week. Blocked shots are worth .5 points. Trust me, it's not the goal scorers who win you weeks in this format. I've played this format for over a decade, if the guy who drafted McDavid or Matthews every year ended up winning we would've trashed it years ago.
The current system values a faceoff win as much as a goal???

Fair enough. I did say "seems" , claiming a bit of ignorance.
Like I said I'm down for a trial season, I really just don't wanna scrap the one we got quite yet.
No, it values the sum of all face off wins as much as the sum of all goals.
Imagine how much worse the scores would be for those going against the usual leaders of the category

@ProjectPanthers I honestly want to try both, it really wouldn't consume all that much more time for me I don't think.
For whoever wants to jump formats, I obviously won't take it personally, you're still stuck with me either way.
My proposition for this looks like:
Legacy league, run by Beezer til death or senility, nothing changed, except i think adding blocked shots would be fun. Perhaps scrap plus minus if any at all. Big fat no on scrapping PiMs FaceOffs and Hits.
Those in legacy A who only want to play the new league will be replaced by legacy B members, leading order of last years standings get first choice? And vice versa for the other league, LOL you know what i mean! Like if everyone set for legacy A action but Beezer wants to do both, then we'll take the person who finished third in b league and bring em in. If BNB and Ciccarelli wanna only do the the new thing, not both, well look to 4th and 5th of the legacy B ....etc.....
Oh shit wait a minute...with Laus duckin out...who finished 9th? They're stayin in the A.
