I hate losses as a category because it's more of a team stat than anything. I guess you could say the same thing about wins though. Maybe consider dumping both of them and going with GAA SV% SV SHO? I still think shots would be a good choice. While we are debating categories why not also consider expanding the rosters to 3 c, 3 of each wing, 5 d, 2 util | ||

There are times I would count maybe one hit and the guy would be credited with 6 or 7 in the game. Then times I would count 6 or 7 and they get 1 or 2. I don't see anything wrong with PIMs, gives you points for being gritty! Can't have a team full of panzies. | ||

I'd be down for dropping w/l for real goaltending stats. though that kind of kills the value of a dude like jon quick who will be so so in those besides racking up wins la's gonna be good this year | ||

If it's between PIM and Hits, I'd rather keep PIM. I think a 6/3 stat line is the best to keep skaters and goalies balanced. Possibly 7/3 but that doesn't look promising with all the feedback. | ||

PIMs should stay, its a good stat for getting tough guys who can still play. Hits is more subjective per arena as has been said. If we want another skater stat why not consider Points? I prefer Hits over Blocked Shots though Goalies have to have both GAA and SV%. Just do Wins and those 2 if you only want 3 categories. I'm Metalgods btw. | ||

I want to see L be put in for Goalie stats to make managers think even harder about whether their goalie should be playing or not. Goalie stats count for 1/3 if not more of the score right now, shouldn't it be made harder to control 2-3 players for 1/3 of the scoring? Also, i'm tired of finishing under .500 every year so far, i'm ready to own you all this season >=| | ||

There are several arenas which have a history of underrecording or overrecording shots. The data and analysis is on http://objectivenhl.blogspot.com somewhere, the guy puts out so much content I don't even know where it is anymore (I read it at least 8 months ago) - so if you want to just take my word for it I can sum up the takeaways I got from it. The New Jersey Devils are the biggest culprits for UNDER-recording shots by an average (if my memory avails me) of about 2 or 3 a game. (this isn't a matter of fewer shots being taken in NJ, but is a matter of a different recording standard by the guys in NJ) The effect is that on average a goalie's SV% is worse, and a players shot total worse, when they are playing in New Jersey. This trend has held true for over 6 years, so presumably that isn't about to change any time soon. Tampa Bay (along with 1 or 2 other teams I can't remember), on the other hand, is the opposite. They over-record shots above the average. (Ie. when that grinder is repeatedly trying to shovel the puck over the goalie's pad a bunch of times, in TB they might get 2 or 3 shots for it while in NJ they will get0 or 1 shots for it) This is too small a discrepancy to regularly help you in fantasy league...but when a player like Roloson gets traded to TB, you know that in conjunction to being on a better team, he will also get an extra % or so onto his SV% from the extra shots being counted. On the flip side, if you have 3 goalies playing and you can't decide which ones to bench, the one playing in New Jersey may be a good candidate because the SV% will be, on average, lower. The more you know! | ||
