    Your DEF/Special Teams should be able to receive points for recovery an onside kick

    Adding primary assists will further spotlight the best playmakers in the league.

    In the fantasy league I run and my previous experiences with yahoo fantasy hockey, it is currently very goal-centric, and it would be nice to add a focus on legitimate top playmakers such as Blake Wheeler and Mitch Marner as possible top players for a fantasy player to pick as thier best player rather than year in and out going with top goal scorers. Adding in primary assists will further highlight more players with playmaking skills leading directly to goals to create a new archtype of player in fantasy hockey other than point scorer and goal scorer.

    Really would just like #8 from OP.

    For PPR, have a ability to differentiate the PPR amount between RB's, WR's, and TE's, example: Receptions RB= .5, Receptions WR= 1, Receptions TE= 1.5

    Hey Andrew, my name is Wes and I agree with your post. Let's get into the meat and potatoes...hits isn't being recorded as accurately anymore. I've seen a player like P.Hornqvist hit someone 5 times in a shift and yahoo count for 1 and I've seen P.Bergeron breathe on someone without the puck and watch his stat category gain +1 hit. In the NHL, giveaways and takeaways represent skill. Look at basketball, turnovers is a very key category. Yahoo needs to pride itself on adaptability and providing the best platform for fantasy success. In dynasty leagues where people pay a lot of money, build teams, and potentially lose friendships, change/diversity of stat categories is imperative. Player categories could use a modern "lift" and I think the implementation of at least turnovers would really change the face of many leagues who are in "ruts." Thank you.

    Honestly these two stats are incredibly important metrics to evaluate players in real life so I think it would translate very well to fantasy. It doesn’t make sense to reward players by adding PIMs as a category (unless it’s counted negatively) when these two stats are ignored. Please change for next year!!

    Agree that goalie stats should be captured. Would be best if they tallied into your team's Scoring stats instead of them being their own unique categories. Rewards goalies who play the puck but doesn't make the goalie categories too lopsided.

    Please add Overtime Points Tracking- G, A, P
    GWG is a bit of a fluke stat given the timing someone scores. If you could track those who produce in overtime, it would would help capture the 'clutch' factor of players. It also rewards those top tiered players who are getting ice in OT.

    They're called game winning goals....................

    With kickers getting more powerful, our league unanimously voted that we want the option for additional bonus points on a 60+ yard field goal. Current yahoo settings only give you the option of 50+ yards. I reached out to yahoo asking for this added option. I figured I'd share this idea with the community.

    Fights should be a stat. If a player gets a 5 minute fighting penalty then that is a benefit for the team in real life as a momentum changer. However, all other penalties should not count as a benefit to a fantasy team.
    Example: Brad Marchand receives a game misconduct and is kicked out of the game. My fantasy team wins PIM for the week, but the real team is screwed.

  • Matthew Bard commented  ·   ·  Report

    Defensive pass interference should award the WR/TE/RB/QB with half the regular amount of yardage points; or at least provide the option and let the commish choose the % allocation. Seems unfair that the offensive players gets nothing in this situation.

  • Andrew Luce commented  ·   ·  Report

    Highly agree with variable PPR and incremental kicker scoring.

    Would like to add:

    1. All Tackles for Loss +0.25 each, then +0.1 for each yard lost. Currently we get sacks. A 1-yard sack is less valuable than stopping the RB 5 yards into the backfield.

    2. All 0 or negative yardage plays net 0 points for the offensive player. In PPR, catching a screen pass but losing a yard results in +0.9 points for a negative play. The QB does not lose yardage for sacks, presumably because this is the fault of the offensive line. The same could be said for failed reverses, screens and simple running plays.

    Implement goalie scoring in points leagues to factor in relevant skater points. IE: if the skaters earn points for assists, goalies should also earn points when they contribute assists for their team. This seems like a large oversight, where a few points could change the entire scoring of the league and the final results of the season.

  • Diamante Williams commented  ·   ·  Report

    There should be deductions for ints on 2 pt conversions. If points can be given for positive plays than points should be taken away for negative plays. I.e., Tom Brady throwing a pick on a 2 pt conversion.

    This has been outstanding for 4 years! I do not understand why, this seems like a logical enhancement that should be made to the capabilities of yahoo fantasy hockey.

    I'd be happy enough to get FGs scored using an equation -- and let the Commish set the multiplier.
    Please consider something like: Each FG is worth (multiplier x yards), but always at least 3 points.
    So, if the Commish puts the multiplier at one point per 10 yards, a 40 yard FG would be 4 points.
    So, if the Commish puts the multiplier at one point per 5 yards, a 40 yard FG would be 8 points.

    With the minimum 3 point rule, a team on the one yard line would still receive 3 points.

    PIMS should be negative in a cats league, or we should be given the choice of PIMS(positive) and PIMS(negative).

    How this isn't an option in 2018 amazes me. Get it together, Yahoo
