While i also like the idea of drafting PK's or generally players that are good at other things than just scoring, SHP's is imo just a luck factor in a weekly h2h format. Even if you have the top five SHP guys, you will lose/draw that stat a lot of weeks since it's such a low occurrence/pure luck stat.

While i consider +/- a pretty meaningless stat in real life, i don't mind it for fantasy reasons. It at least adds a certain strategic element (do i want that top scorer from a team that will do bad this season or a top six guy from that team that should do really good). Getting rid of +/- would also impact one of my keeper choices and i doubt i would be the only one.

Neutral between blocked shots and hits. I like either of them as stat that adds another element to the league.

Exactly. Drafting guys who play on the PK doesn't necessarily help you with SHP since they're so random and few and far between. As I showed in a previous post, there's little season to season correlation, and even the best SHP players go through seasons with 1 or 2 SHP.

Blocks is an interesting idea. It would open up a new type player to rosterability in the league, which I like. It's also more consistent/predictable. This would also prevent teams from only rostering three defenseman and using an extra forward rotationally.
 
Was checking hits and saw that ovi was 16th in that department. A guy like Kunitz would be sought after if hits were included since he is close to the top of the list and gets some production.
 
Excuse my ignorance, tried looking through this thread quick and in the league, but is a goalie optional as a keeper or one has to be kept?

All of mine are quite meh which is why I ask and can't remember the rule :laugh:

Optional. You don't have to keep one if you don't want to but if you do, it can only be one.
 
Are most of last seasons pool players still regulars on this board. I didn't check in much during the off-season.
 
I'm not sure I was ever what you'd term a 'regular' on this board, but I have been an active participant in the pool.
 
I'd like to join. We are 3 friends looking for a competitive league. We will be managing one team as a three-headed hydra, so activity throughout the season is pretty much a given.

I was in NJD league like 5 years ago when we had like 6 leagues up and running.

Is there a spot?
 
We may have 2 new teams this year. 1 team has formally dropped out so I have sent a PM to the first 3 in this thread who said they were interested in playing this season.

1 team hasn't assigned any keepers and hasn't responded yet to my emails or PMs on whether they want to play again.

If they haven't responded within 24 hours, then I will have to re-assign their team given the draft is less than a week away.
 
Is there any flexibility on the draft time? I'm going to be in Montreal this weekend and will have limited access to phone/internet.

The NHL regular season begins Wednesday, October 12th. Any way we could do the draft on Monday or Tuesday night?

I know it's difficult to find a time that meets everyone's schedule, so no big deal, but just thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else is in a similar boat.
 
Anyone else want to delay draft?

Personally I rather keep it on a weekend. I probably can't make it on either a Monday or Tuesday night.
 
My keepers are going to be:

Holtby
Kessel
Seguin
Neal
Shattenkirk

Also planning on going to the Rutgers/Michigan game on Saturday so I wouldn't mind the draft being delayed. Could probably get my brother to draft for me worst case scenario
