Also Average Time On Ice(ATOI) is another good cat. Makes 'goons' not worth as much since, the ATOI brings them down and rewards guys that actually play

Whats to say I'm not making the playoffs so I drop everyone on my team and pickup players that only get PIMS(I've seen this happen before) just so I can try to win $25 for PIMS or if i have great GAA/SV% in the middle of the season then I just sit my goalies every week to try and collect $50 cause I know I can't make playoffs. Its a double edged sword no one will ever be happy and it will never be perfect. I saw we put it to a league vote before anything gets set in stone. Once again my 2cents not trying to rain on anyones parade just voicing my concerns.

This thought occurred to me as well.

Let me hear from you guys. Who’s in favor of paying each category, ($25 with a 10 team league, $30 for a 12), or who wants to pay the regular season winner $250, (with a ten team league), or $300, (with a 12 team league).

Keep in mind the payouts are:
$650
$350
$200
(12 teams)

$500
$300
$200
(10 team league)

It's probably clear from my above post, but I would be in favour of awarding the regular season winner, even though I have no chance haha

I like PIMs as a category because you have to find players like Marchand, Hartnell, Byfuglien, etc. who put up both points and PIMS.

Those of you who are Leafs fans probably expected similar type results out of David Clarkson when he was w/the Leafs after delivering for the Devils. Instead, he started his Leafs career w/a 10 game suspension and he was never again the player he was in NJ.

I like the category leaders IN FINAL FOUR WEEKS, which I believe is what Artie suggested, eh?

IOW, entering final four weeks, a manager that is out of playoff hunt is also likely not ranked overly high in any one category. But if they stay fully active in final four weeks, their Final Four Weeks numbers could possibly qualify for the $25 pops

ADAM, my quips are simple bulletin board material....send out your crushers to steamroll me

And/or no kidding, come on down to the Sunshine State....a culture shock perhaps, but lots of steady work

Since I will likely once again be the 12th seeded manager going in, I figure I'm not going to win the PT....but would approve of it triggering a secondary prize

No he was saying this was to keep teams that are eliminated from playoff contention, with four weeks to go, from mailing it in. Not using just the numbers for the last four weeks. After thinking about this I’m more supportive of Adam’s idea and award the presidents trophy award winner the extra cash.

If its a case of people wanting to spread the money around another suggestion would be to separate the league into 3 Divisions of 4(only works with 12 guys). Then pay the winner of each division $75 with an extra $75 going to the Presidents Trophy winner. But this is only really fair if 8 teams make the playoffs, if we only have 4 make playoffs 3 of the 4 teams will have already cashed and they are the only ones with a chance at the title. Doesn't keep the other 8 teams on the outside looking in very motivated at all. Or we could have a loser bracket that runs in the playoffs with the winner getting there buy in back or something. Just throwing ideas out.

Barman I would love to come down to Florida unfortunately your government wont let me cross the imaginary line between our countries. I've always wanted to visit especially the Florida Keys. When I lived in Ontario lots of people would vacation there in the winter.

Personally like this idea.

Ayuh....Inverse challenge....I have some American citizen friends well established in Vancouver who have minor pot busts on their US record. So they (for now) do not risk crossing to USA for fear they will not be permitted back into Canada

Meanwhile, full disclosure.....If you had not taken offense to my quip and instead challenged me with, "Okay Bar, I'll raise you to a $200 entry fee", then I would likely have folded and headed for the dress shop myself



Size 8....I'm a cutie if the dress at least has short sleeves

I kinda dig the three division format with 12 teams as suggested by Adam above

Eight playoff contenders, first two rounds a week each and the Finals for two weeks

I am pretty sure by about Week 15, 16 last season there were four guys pretty much out...would be fun to have everyone more active in Weeks 18-22

I'm up for three divisions and/or eight teams in playoffs. Just trying to keep everyone interested down the stretch.

BTW Barman, the thought of you in a dress....I need a mental cleanse.

One week to go and we’re still looking for two more teams. I got a PM from one interested party but the Monday draft is bad for him. Are you guys willing to push the draft to Tuesday 8:00 pm EST?
