General feedback regarding scoring options and requests for new scoring options and categories. Some common category requests are:
- Goal Line Stops
- Penalty Yards
- Customizable Points Allowed Options
- Successful Onside Kicks
- Touchbacks for Kickers
- Dropped passes

I can tell you penalty related scoring will never be part of the game.
As to giving points to a player when their team wins, that won't happen either, because there is no way of knowing if the player contributed to the win.

Why not offer pts for pass interference yardage gained? You get those yards in real football and you certainly get yds/TDs erased for offensive penalties. So why not give the option for either full/fractional credit to QB/WR/RB/TE for yds gained via PI call?
Our league has been considering eliminating the kicker position because of randomness (perceived or real lack of skill to pick). Instead it would be nice to add an additional flex roster spot that was eligible as a kicker too. So you could play K/RB/WR/TE. You could play a kicker if you want a safer floor or play a WR if you need upside.
It would also be nice to add a bonus for players who's team won or loss. Some way to add value to winning players/teams.

ESPN has the punter as a part of their roster and I would like Yahoo to add this as an option.

In fantasy hockey, goalies are not eligible for scoring in offensive categories, by design.
Likewise in fantasy baseball, pitchers are not eligible to collect offensive stats and position players are not eligible to collect pitching stats, by design.

Review the NHL for the facts: Source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?gameType=2&position=G&season=20142015&sort=wins&status=A&viewName=summary.

G's, like P's in baseball, are not eligible for certain scoring categories by design.

Below would bring all of the Stat Categories currently being used by the NHL.
OT = OT and/or S/O Losses
PIM = Penalty Minutes
TOI = Time On Ice
G = Goals
A = Assists -

I'd really like to see shootout scoring introduced into the Yahoo Fantasy. Seeing as shootouts play a huge role in the winning of a game, it would be great as a fantasy "GM" to have your players who score a shootout goal get something like half a point and shootout winners be one point.

I totally understand this complaint and had my understanding of it 'backwards' in my first season of fantasy hockey......but that's the way it is.....Yahoo.....

We should have the option to award points to D/ST for pinning the offence inside the 5 yard line on a punt.
The ST stands for special teams, right? Punt returns can count for points, why not punts?

Why is this closed and every time a suggestion of it is made, it is merged? If you have no intention of even listening to our requests, at least just tell us to ******** so we look into other leagues and stop hoping you'll actually adjust. These stats are already tracked and this would be a very simple edition.

Add the ability to select punters. Could be as simple as points for pinned in the 20, pinned in the 10, pinned in the 5, net yards. This would be a nice dynamic, that some may not want, but would be a nice option for some.

This would be a great way to make this work!

You can always create your own custom categories and weight them as you see fit.

Goals are goals and assists are assists on the ice regardless of who gets them, they should absolutely count in fantasy for all positions. I would have won my Week 1 if Rask's 2 assists were counted. Please change.
p.s. to all those who say that forwards/deferencemen should get points for saves, if goalies start getting points for G/A/PIM/SOG/PPP/GWG, newsflash: they already do - it's called blocked shots

Ed Lorenzen commented
Agreed it rarely happens but goalie assits and goals and PIMs should be able to be added to team totals

Please add GP when users are looking at their players under the "My Team" tab. It will be a lot easier to see who to bench or start. Thanks!

Please add GP (games played) to the stats strickley for viewing purposes

Last night Tukka Rask had 2 assists, (4 point in our scoring) and in a close race could be decided by 4 points. I don't believe that PIMs have a lot of value for goalies but it would be nice if when a goalie gets an assist or a goal (even though they are very rare) to collect points for that. When setting up a league it would be nice to have the option to allow these points. If one league doesn't want to allow this they don't need to have them but for us who do it is a nice option. I also play in a fantasy football league and I feel like this is like not allowing a WR to get passing yards. It is rare but if you had Pryor or Edelman on your team and they ran a trick play or something and they completed a pass you'd be choked if you didn't/couldn't get they points.
