John, there are ample categories to assign negative points. Using a disparaging and offensive, such as "sissy" is very immature.

Scoring penalties as a positive stat add more players to the mix. Players such as Steve Downie, Brandon Dubinsky, Chris Krieder, Travis Hamonic, Dustin Byfuglien are more valuable. If you want to run a sissy European hockey pool with only offensive stats, then take out PIMs. Quit your whining about penalties.

Rewarding a player or a team for a penalty is contrary to logic. I agree that PIM should reflect as the NHL applies the category.

No offense to the guy who suggested this but please do not include goalie scoring. It's such a dumb idea. Yes goalies rarely get goals, assists, SOG and occasionally get PIMs but it's so infrequent it's just a waste of time and a clutter of the pages to include this.

Goalies also need overtime Loss points. I think it will help even out some leagues

We have always excluded PIM from our custom league specifically because of situations where a player gets ejected from a game (I'm looking at you Lucic) and the team owning that player wins the PIM point for the week. I agree that fights could be a positive stat, but nobody should ever be happy when their player is ejected for a game misconduct.
Side note: penalties drawn would be an awesome category -

I don't think that any shoot out points should be included. Even the NHL doesn't count them. If a game goes into the shootout at 0-0, both goalies get a shutout.
The goalie should definitely be able to score the other stat categories. Some teams have goalies that are good at handling the puck. They'll score some assists during the season. You probably wouldn't win or lose based on the few times this happens. But your player still earned those points, so there should be an option of allowing them to count.

Add a penalty plus/minus. They already track who takes/draws any given penalty. Then give the commissioners a choice for league scoring between: 1) Most PIMs 2) Least PIMs 3) Best PIM +/-

You can. you set scoring to 'lowest amount wins' upon creation of the league. I believe this option is available for every category if my memory serves me correctly.

Goalie SOG, PPP, G, A and SHP will be meaningful about a dozen times a season across the entire NHL. Pretending they are factors you could use to pick a team is just plain stupid.
It would be as logical to add scoring stats for goalies as to add a Shut Out and Save category for forwards. There would never be a SO and every month or so a skater would get credit for an actual save.
And just as it happens in football when a WR makes a tackle he gets credit for it so there is no need to make it an official category for goalies. If a goalies scores a goal is goes on the board just like when a receiver tips a ball into a defenders hands and then tackles him he gets credit for a tackle.

Like the idea, adds yet another dimension to follow. If it is a "horrible idea" don't add the position to your league scoring.

Please Yahoo!, make this happen! Make every yard count for something!

Its a great idea. It does not need to be a mandatory position, this way the traditionalists won't need to incorporate it.

This is a must have category in many private leagues...would replace face off lost by fw % really surprised this is not available already.

I agree. Making PIM a positive stat appears to be more hockey tradition than anything logical. Coming from a baseball and football fantasy background, this is equivalent to giving fantasy points to a D/ST for each penalty yard it accrues.

Bad idea. If this does go through I want saves for forwards and D-men when they make a save in the crease.

If you're using anything smaller than .5 you're not playing real Fantasy Football...grow a pair...

PIM's can hurt or help a team so I think if anything the option to make it negative would be best. I'm assuming the people who want fighting out of the game are the ones voting to change this? A fight can motivate your team more than anything and certain penalties are considered "good" penalties to take away scoring chances and whatnot so I think it can easily go both ways.

I agree to an extent. I like the 10 categories. Maybe, if goalies were not limited to just their four stats. Instead of having each player limited to 6 or 4 stats, have your team accumulate all 10 stats (if applicaple. Skaters don't get wins, SO, SV%, GAA). I would be upset if i came 1 assist short for the week's matchup and my goalie had one and it didn't count.
