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.

Eligibility issues
Here it is Friday. I have two more days left in my weekly fantasy hockey league. I have a problem; I am hurting big time for any points from any player. This covid thing is just killing my season because of teams NOT playing. I notice in the goalie eligibility that I need at least three to play, to capture any stats that count, which I have been lucky so far. Instead of making things harder in regards to this, have you ever thought of lowering this 'eligibility' to just two so I can have any hope instead of taking…

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.

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.

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.206th ranked -
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.

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.

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?
