I need a goalie or 2. Someone offer me a fair trade please.
Tis a bit ridiculous some of the hoarding that goes on.Need to put a limit on how many goalies you can have in your squad, whether on IR+ or not. Only need to get 3 appearances a week after all........
I was happyHad my full compliment of 15 players on the ice today.........for grand total of 0 goals and 1 assist.........impressive stuff indeed...............
Like I said before, if you want one make me an offer.
Time to shake this league up and revise the rules next year.
What we have now is getting a bit stale - waiver wire with basically nothing on it, no goalies as they are all hoarded, 2 managers that have dropped off, minimal trades as there's no incentive to do so (if I could trade say Tuukka Rask for someone's first pick, would I do so to be able to select pick up a Kevin Fiala or Alex Pietrangelo or Dougie Hamilton on draft day? - these guys all picked in our "first" round - round 12 - this past draft)
Reckon next season it's time to move to reabsorb those two squads into free agents, as well as :
1. Limit keepers to 1 x LW, RW, C, D & G, plus 3 rookies in any position. Makes selection of keepers much tougher and the end of having to keep a lot of the marginal guys we are forced to now (eg. I've kept Phil Kessel every year cause there's no other real options - am sure all of us have similar). Keeps the rookie dynasty concept as important though, given this is a fairly unique part of this league.
2. Get rid of utility positions - just takes players off the board who could be topping teams up who need a waiver wire boost. Have the squads a "real" team of 9 forwards (3 of each position), 6 D, 2G as per what each team would generally send out in a actual NHL game.
3. Maximum goalies of 3
4. Add in "defense points" as a category (not sure if this is available in Yahoo - is certainly there in ESPN), so as to give D men more value.
5. Get rid of faceoff wins - means you're always looking for players that are centres (or pseudo centres)
6. Go back to 3 IR+ - yes, we've needed extra this year, but again would make team selection tighter and harder to manage.
Best part of this would be a more fun draft with better players around - and drafts should be fun........
Thoughts??????
Agree with most of that.Time to shake this league up and revise the rules next year.

That wasn't me dude.Offer made.
4. These is easily fix. Add Blocks & Hits as a category.
I know what you are thinking, that it would result in the like of De Haan, Forbort, Larsson being on our rosters. There is some truth to that, but it force managers to change their mentality of ensuring they have defenseman on their roster. If they don’t, then they will likely lose a category or two.Oh dear, no.
Irrelevant stats, subjective stats counted by sleepy OAPs and stat compiled by completely useless players.

Good call. There's always one person resistant to change... luckily for us he has no idea what he's talking about.I know what you are thinking, that it would result in the like of De Haan, Forbort, Larsson being on our rosters.
