Scoring - Position specific scoring categories
This scoring setting change would allow commissioners to change the scoring value for common scoring categories for each position individually (ex: forwards and defensemen). Currently you can only change the scoring value for all positions at once.

Is this ever going to be implemented? Seems like it's been under review for over a year now - I don't understand what could possibly be so time consuming about resolving a relatively simple issue like this, one way or another. I would like to see this implemented NOW, for the 14-15 season ... there are simply too many other viable options out there for Yahoo to sit back and be slow at taking action.

ESPN offers a category called "Defensemen Points" for head-to-head category leagues. We actually draft in Yahoo, and then move to ESPN for the regular season. The ESPN keeper options are what force us to draft on Yahoo.
We would rather stay with yahoo, but the lack of a Defensemen Points category turns us away.

Having an option to have separate stat categories for defense makes them on par with forwards,

Is this still a possibility for the 2014-2015 season?

If you have a keeper pool based of the NHL, why would you want to discount hits and blocks from offensive players? That is like excluding goals and assists from defensive players. If a player gets a goal, it is a goal no matter their position. If a player gets a hit, it is still a hit whether they are a forward or defense.
You want your league to value D, but you are devaluing two-way forwards who are great on defense! This is a bad suggestion.

This will give people to customize their leagues further, separating forward stats and defense stats make defensemen more valuable. Adding corsi would be great too;)

Should be a category for defensemen, if their goalie (team) gets a shutout, it should be a point value if they played in the game.

What type of scoring format are you utilizing? Rotisserie?

I agree that this is a huge issue and would make Yahoo by far the best option for our keeper pool. With the current system Defencemen are way under valued.

when a topic is "under review", what are the chances of this being implemented for the upcoming 2013-14 season?

Top competitors for fantasy Hockey, like PoolExpert and OfficePools, allow custom position scoring (pool experts allows even up to 3 different scoring schemes for FWDs and DEFs).
Ideally, Yahoo can offer a similar feature to be competitive with those other pool sites.

Do we have a resolution to this yet?

We really need to have our defensemen be able to get different stats than the forwards in our pool. For the last four years we have had to have a separate pool for the defensemen stats as you cannot separate the scoring for the positions. We have a keeper pool that is based off of real NHL salaries and the defensemen need to have blocked shots and hits as well as goals and assists to be equal to the top forwards. However you cannot have only the defensemen get the blocked shots and hits. It would be awesome if this could be done as it is our only major hurdle is making the pool excellent.
