Not looking for conflict...kinda went out of my way to say that in my first message. : )
I don't really agree with your 1st or 3rd point but I'll shut up and keep my opinions to myself lest you think I'm a troublemaker!
I sincerely have no issue moving the trade deadline if people want to. I love trading, so more of it is good with me.
It's fine to do that and move forward with no major fuss.
But, just to share my thoughts....I don't love hearing the argument that we're not changing goalie stats that are set...
This issue doesn't bother me too much, but if I was fighting for 1st or 2nd place like Thunder and Habspatrol I can see how it would be a concern.
I've played a lot on Yahoo, and I love how their system just doesn't let you make an illegal move if your roster would be non-compliant. No...

I appreciate learning the background on the goalie stat categories. I get the sense that there's one quote there that sort of explains it all:
"It was all about creating a realistic end of year standings"
I can definitely see why this would be desirable. I also just joined this year, so I...
I like the quantity here too. But I still have a lot of personal favourites that I've inquired about from all you other managers out there!
If the age of Pionk and Cirelli fits into your timelines better than Carlson and Stamkos did, give me a shout!
Totally agree. I guess I'm just saying that there is a reason to do some things in season (and a precedent set for doing that), if it makes no sense whatsoever to leave something as it was previously set. That's how I feel about the existing save percentage system, though I always leave open...
I totally hear you about the butterfly effect, so I don't want to pretend to have perfect answers. I have no experience being commissioner on fantrax. But here are a few possibilities that seem like logical options to me:
1) The save percentage system was clearly designed to go up in steady...
I hope most of us are able to maintain that calmness during this discussion...I don't want to see anybody quit over this! Tone's definitely harder to tell in writing. Personally I'm not angry at all. I just think there's a problem/mistake with using this system to reward lower save...
Well...not sure what to say here. LOL I don't necessarily want to stir up problems for anybody especially when I'm not the one who has to fix it...so my sincere apologies for causing a headache.
But it sure seems like something's broken or wrong with the settings.
1. Does it make sense to...
I agree with the games played shift for this shorter season. But I still have a couple questions about the goalie stats.
A) Why have a minimum games played requirement for skaters but not goalies?
B) Why do goalies get rewarded for save percentage up to .939 but not above?
Calculate Per...
I guess it's just an amusing way to pass the time commenting on all these deals, so it's relatively harmless and all for the sake of fun.
But everytime I see somebody say "Whoa, X got the way better end of that deal", my mind just screams "Put your players where your mouth is!" LOL We...
I'm generally on the side that says it's better not to change rules partway into a season. I think it's unfair to switch once we've started up because each manager has already planned ahead in the way they think is best for eventualities such as this (or, they haven't planned at all, in which...
Benn, Stamkos, Strome, Galchenyuk, Smith, Marchessault, Labanc, Carlson, Martinez, Vlasic, Grubauer, Shesterkin, Appleton, Batherson...all open for discussion. But I like specific players in return....
