Hmmm, I've played in a ton of league over the years and NEVER have we played where the lowest PIM won the category. Thats the beauty of the PIM category. You pick a guy like Carcillo or Laraque and he racks up the PIM's but they rarely score you goals or points of any kind. They never play the PP. So your hoping your guy goes out there that night with a wild hair up his ass. That's also why a guy like Iginla is so valuable. He can throw down AND he can lead your team in just about every other category.

Ok here goes

I agree with the Veto--I changed it to 6 owners needed to veto

Playoffs changed to 6 teams this is 3 weeks of games. The top 2 have byes in week 1. Each playoff series is 1 week-even the championship--there is no way I see to make it 2

Here is a proposal for # of players
C-2 LW-2 RW-2 D-4 Util-2 G-2 Bench-6 IR-1
this puts 20 on each team

Categories I think we all want:
Goals Assisists +/- PIM PPG FaceoffsWon for Skaters

Wins Shutouts Sv% GAA for Goalies

this is 10
I also like Game winning goals and shots on goal for skaters

Do we want 82 game limits or limit the number of transactions??

Want to have these done by tomorrow so everyone knows what they are.
These really don't put any at an advantage--lets make this as simple-but fun as possible!!

Thoughts??

Cripes...I specifically targeted low PIM when I drafted my Yahoo roto team

Really thought it was perceived as a negative to be in the penalty box and thus unable to accrue other stats.

In response to WW's post

Those ten categories are agreeable to us all, I believe

I think SOG is more interesting than GWG. Selecting just one would give us 11 categories and thus little chance of a H2H tie for a given week.

Finally, I personally prefer Maximum Games at 82 rather than limiting transactions.

I don't like 82 as a maximum
You can get more games if the schedule falls right
I think we should limit the number of transactions OR let it be

We have to have one or the other, imho

You can set the Max Games to any number. If 82 is not preferable, set it to 90

or 96 (a 20% bump on 82)

The 10 categories is cool with me.

I, for one, Have zero problems with ties. In fact it makes the race all that more exciting and way less chance of teams tying with the same record in the end. So I'm actually FOR leaving 10 categories. Yahoo has a standard tie breaking system..Win first I believe then maybe head to head. I'm sure ESPN has the same. This can easaly be looked up.

Max games at 82.

I think there should be some sort of limit on transactions. Even if its high. As I stated earlier I got burned last season by a guy changing his lineup everyday. How about 100?

I dont like a max AND limited transactions

WAAAAYYY too much thinking about when to put in players at an 82 limit
If you are worried about just adding at the end--then we will limit transactions.

Cool...if Limiting Trans is the preference, let's set it at 100, which is a pace of four per week.

Right now it is set to allow a 4 goalie max per team--I am thinking of changing that to 3. With 14 guys now that is 42 goalies as it is...

Agree that three max is best.

At risk of being overly repetitive, here is what I think we've agreed on so far

C, LW, RW - 2 each
D - 4
G - 2
UTIL -2
Bench - 6

Total = 20 + either one or two IR slots

eh?

Whale, if I can make a suggestion. In my other ESPN 14 team league the Commis. broke the league into 2 divisions of 7. Same # of teams make the playoffs. But 2 divisions. Just a thought.
