The only way we will be adding categories is if we re-draft our entire teams. And I am adamant in that stance. GM's have been building their teams for 6+ years to the specific categories of the league, assuming that they would not change. Any person that honestly argues that adding categories "doesn't make that much of a difference" should not be a GM because he or she clearly does not understand the dynamics of fantasy sports and/or building a solid team. That is all I have to say on the subject. Of course changing categories would make a difference. Who has actually argued anything otherwise? Or are you just making things up, again? I like 3 more categories we could implement without much effect on the league. [/size] Hits FOW and SV's or Block shots[/quote] |

Adding a couple categories would increase the level of competition in the league... Certain teams (figure it out for yourself) who are at the top year in and year out won't benefit from it. |

Luckily I've spent the last 4 years in multiple leagues and can pretty objectively say that anything can be altered to make the league better. Including categories.
Nice to throw shit like "betterment of the league" around and then remain adamantly against something that would increase parity in the league. Then again, there's no reason to expect anything better.

The only way we will be adding categories is if we re-draft our entire teams. And I am adamant in that stance. ^ Votes don't matter. C) Any potential rule change requires a 2/3 majority vote or in other words 8/12 league members approval (including the acceptance of the Commissioner) to be made a rule. Any manager may make a poll to amend a rule. Arbitrarily throwing around statements such as "Adding a couple categories would increase the level of competition in the league" without supporting evidence does not make them so. What increases the level of competition in the league is the subtle change/s that have been made over the past couple years. You know, the ones that can be backed up with statistical data. 2006: 374, 337, 305 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 198 (Last Place) 374 - 275 (Playoff Range) 99 point difference 2007: 364, 325, 327 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 217 (Last Place) 364 - 295 (Playoffs Range) 69 point difference 2008: 391, 386, 306 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 196 (Last Place) 391 - 273 (Playoff Range) 118 difference 2009:360, 340, 303 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 170 (Last Place) (Ducks) 360 - 268 (Playoff Range) 92 difference 2010: 328, 308, 293 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 191 (Last Place) (Ducks) 328-259 (Playoff Range) 69 difference 2011: 307, 300, 297 (Ducks team that I built) (Top 3 in the standings in points) 191 (Last Place) 307-278 (Playoff Range) 29 difference 2012: 116, 109, 103 (Top 3 in the standings in points) 55 (Last Place) 116-84 (Playoff Range) 32 difference Things you might notice: The gap between the Top 3 teams has diminished over the past couple seasons. The last place team/s have remained relatively constant in points. Most importantly, the disparity in points between teams who make the playoffs has been cut by 50-66% over the past couple seasons in comparison to the first few seasons of the league.These changes have not come about by accident. I spend countless hours pouring over data, not only to make my team better, but to make the league better as well. Countless times I have supported/voted for league changes that adversely effect me (most recently the elimination of keeper slot trading), for the betterment of the league. I do not need someone who was previously kicked out for inactivity, consistently finishes in the basement of the league, and who is constantly trying to "stir the pot" telling me how to run this league. Especially when your arguments are pure speculation based in hot-headed irrational emotion. Adding categories will not magically make a good GM terrible and terrible GM good. Any of the teams who are at the top year in and year out are there because of their ability to critically think and adapt to the rigors of fantasy sports. And those who are not, can't. Plain and simple. |

This us getting silly Markus is the only one still complaining. Deal with it votes are in. Derrick you do an amazing job running this league. I have so many friends in keeper leagues and this by FAR is the most in depth league I know of.

The fact that this league has been going on for 6+ years can attest to the fact our commish is doing a pretty good job.

From here on out, I just won't post in the forums. Every time I cexpress an opinion, not point fingers, but stating a general opinion, I get personally attacked by the hot headed douche of a commissioner. For your information, I historically have finished in the middle of the pack, not "the basement."
I'll just stick to setting my line-ups week in and week out, I'll click the button when votes come up, I'll submit my draft selections. Other than that, I won't be wasting my time trying to contribute to these discussions.
Cheers

Even just one category would be ok. FOW is a huge part of today's NHL with puck possession. One category also wouldn't rock the integrity of the league. I don't think a tie should end in goals being the decider. 13 would give us odd number and guarantee a winner most weeks.

I'm not playing devil's advocate to be a jerk, but it would depend on the category. Adding just one can impact things more so than thought... For instance, just adding FOW would heavily favor wingers with dual C eligibility and make defensemen significantly less valuable (since they contribute zero to that stat). It would need to be something more universal. |

I think that is the point it is just like having SH specialist, goalies take 4 categories why not C and guys can make a waiver or roster move to get a Face-off specialist.

You better make that pick or trade it! I'm excited to see if we can use up all the draft picks this year.
