Preemptive Shutouts
I don't know who thought giving a shutout to goalies at the start of the game was a good idea, but they could not be more off the mark. Does the league give goalies 82 shutouts at the start of the season and take them away as they go? No, obviously not. It'misrepresents your live fantasy points and will only result in frustration and disappointment as most of your goalies "shutouts" get taken away as they concede. So dumb.

Please add takeaways and giveaways as stats next year
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!!

Please make a Max limit on positions
A big problem in our league for many years has been the amount of goalies a team will "hoard."
A bunch of our managers have brought up how one team can have as many 5 or 6 goalies rostered at one time, while another may have just 1 healthy goalie.
Can you make a feature for next season where you can place a max limit on roster positions?
We would love to have say a max of 3 goalies on your active roster, so if a starter on another team gets hurt you will have to decide whether to drop…

Goalie points for reaching OT
Goalies are not currently rewarded for getting their team to OT. OT and SO losses should be additional goalie points.

Tracking Overtime Points- G, A, P
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.229th ranked -
Fighting points
Fighting should be a separate category from PIM. Fighting brings a totally different element, a more valuable one in terms of gameplay, than any other penalty.

Points for shootout goals
Shootouts are not currently a part of Yahoo's scoring system. Adding points for shootout goals and gamewinning shootout goals would be a cool option.

Wheeler had two assists on Tuesday December 4th 2018
The NHL added an assist to Wheeler from Ehlers empty net goal. I would like to see yahoo add that point.

Remove Empty Net Goals from Plus-Minus
Plus-Minus has long been a broken stat, and I can't believe Yahoo still hasn't provided us with a better option.
A big part of the problem is that Empty Net Goals against count as a plus or minus when a player is on the ice.
Idea: Provide a plus-minus (+/-) stat that excludes Empty Net Goals
Thank you.

Points for goalie lost in overtime or shootout
There should be an option in the beginning of a fantasy league scoring settings to allow goalies who lost a game in overtime or shootout to have a point.

Corrections
Due to the timing of corrections "Corrections displayed in this way were received too late to apply to the scoring for your league", I lost points in my Head-to-Head weekly matchup and thus in the Overall Standings. Given that corrections are received TOO LATE, why not finalize the Head-to-Head statistics LATER, thus allowing for receipt of the corrections. There is no real need to finalize last week's Head-to-Head statistics so soon after the last game of the week. Why not allow corrections up to the start of the first game of this week's matchup?

Make week 12 & 13 combined into 1 week
I propose that week 12 be combined with week 13 or at least give the option to commissioners to choose to do so at their discretion.
Week 12 was a VERY short week in the already terrible NHL scheduling, so why not combine it with week 13 as was done in week 1 which was actually a longer week than week 12 is.
This week 12 was 13 games on Thursday, 3 games Friday, 15 games Saturday and 1 game Sunday. That’s a total of 32 games. Normal weeks average for well over 50. At such a critical point of…

Yahoo has changed the minimum goalie appearances for week 12 to not in effect for this week.
Since this is a "short" week for NHL teams with most teams only playing 2 games, Yahoo has arbitrarily changed the minimum goaltender appearances from whatever the Commissioner had to "not in effect" for the week of December 24 to December 30, 2018.
I can understand why this would be done in public leagues, but the Commissioners running private leagues should be able to lower the amount of goaltender appearances to whatever is suitable for their league.
With no minimum appearances, if one of your goalies has a shutout tonight, there is no incentive to play a goalie for the…
