Everyone, if there are any additional changes you'd like to see implemented this year — scoring, additional IR slot, whatever — table them in this thread and we'll put them to a vote. Simple majority rule to pass.

[Phil]

Also, if you intend to change your team name, please post the new name here so I can update the OP. Helps us keep track of who is who throughout the season.

[fletch]

Last season, I know there was some discussion of increasing from 2 moves per week. If people would like that change, it would be great to discuss before draft.

[Phil]

How many moves, though? Three? I think I'd be OK with that. We're still in a Covid-era in sports, so there's still a significant chance that guys will end up on a Covid-type IR throughout the year. I just don't want to swing the gate completely open here.

[josh]

I’d rather do another bench spot than another pickup.

 

 

Also voicing my dislike for penalties and shg categories

I'd be fine with three moves a week. Gives some more flexibility with Covid-IR

Phil I sent my payment in through venmo

What are our options. I'm also in favor of Josh's proposal.

[LindG1000]

Corsi For and Fenwick Against.

 

You know, just for fun.

We currently have two IR spots, one IR+ spot, zero Not Active spots, and three bench spots.

[Phil]

Sorry, I had to restore from an earlier backup which undid most of the posts from earlier today.

 

Let's roll call the proposed changes again. Vote yes or no to each. Simple majority passes.

 

1. Kill PIM as a scoring category

2. Add blocked shots as a scoring category

3. Enable keeper league

[fletch]

1. yes

2. yes

3. no

[Drew a Penalty]

Yes to 1-3.

[Shane Falco]

Good with all 3. Never tried keeper league. Might be fun.

[LindG1000]

Yes to all three, but fresh draft on 3. Also keeper rules established prior to draft

[Long live the King]

Yes to all three.

 

Does Yahoo have different options for keeper leagues? What are the choices/rules?

[josh]

Yes

No

Maybe - how many players are we talking, 2 or 3?

[fletch]

About keepers - there's a few players that make a big difference. Do we really want the same teams to have McDavid, Vasilevskiy,etc?

[fletch]

My experience with keeper leagues is that over time a few teams accumulate the best players, and a few teams suck. The teams that suck see no way to compete, and owners drop out - so there ends up being a problem with turnover.

You're right. It's hard to vote for keeper vs not without knowing how many players you keep, how many picks you give up to keep them, etc.
