Truthfully it should be the best 8 teams make it. But since that's not an option I guess guaranteed playoffs...

Better late than never...

2018 CFHF Fantasy League All-stars!

 

[Anglesmith]

Now that it's the All-star Break, I'd like to follow up on these topics with some polls. One additional suggestion was brought to my attention (something we've discussed before) which was to substitute a Saves category in place of the Losses category.

But to start with, let's vote on whether we should change our playoff format to no longer giving division winners the top spots. The prevailing mood seems to be that division winners should make the playoffs regardless, and because of the unbalanced schedule, I'm inclined to agree, even if it seems silly. So, to simplify things, there will be only two options for this poll.

With 11 votes in favour of change, the division winners will now (starting next season) obtain only a guaranteed playoff birth, with no seeding advantage.

Next poll will be regarding the TDL. Basically want to know if people really want to change it.

Seemed to me like people were okay with the TDL as is but also okay with moving it, forwards or backwards.

If going to a poll, I would put down moving it earlier. I think there would be more buyers this way as teams have more time to make the playoffs. It's harder to gauge whether you're going to make it if you're a middle-of-the-pack team and is more enticing to buy players with more weeks available.

Shopping Marc Eduoard Vlasic. 9pts in the last 10gp and a high shot blocker.

Not asking for much in return. Lower round MD picks.

You guys could have structured that as a three-way deal. I am now sad.

2017-18 CFHF Fantasy League GM Summit

• Division winners will still make playoffs, but won't be gifted top seeds. (11-6 vote)
• Trade deadline will remain one week prior to the NHL deadline. (11-6 vote)

Last item on the list is exchanging the Saves category for the Losses category. It's something that we seemingly vote on every year, but here we go again. Two different strategic angles on this one. Having losses encourages picking your spots with your goalies, but can result in GMs shutting their goalies down in a non-competitive way after one or two nights. Having saves encourages playing your goalies more than your opponent, but can result in an auto-win of a category for the GM with more goalie appearances in a given week.

Poll will be reset.

I like 'Saves' because it encourages more goalie games. So a team can't just have 2 good games to start the week and have all the categories locked up. It also benefits teams that carry 2 good goalies.

I agree. It also give a benefit to a goalie on a bad team that faces a ton a shots. Plus with having both wins and losses, it's like you are getting punished 2 fold for not getting the win
