Goalie talk: suggestions to improve GGP/goalie value

[kimmer]

Talk here. God

There isn't a solution IMO.

We have a 30 man league so there will always be issues. If anything just lower ggp and that might help a little

[The BBKL Insider]

i have a solution

just post it here

[KapG]

You copy paste it

Simple, if you have 2 goalies (2 backups, starter, etc...) and one goes down with an injury you're given a pass on games played.

Especially if you're trying to compete. It's easy for the league to see if you're trying to tank or trying to compete.


Eliminating games played due to injury will lower the price of goalies. We all win (for those who care anyways).

[Arian The Insider]

Love Steve's idea. Only thing is that a team could start with 2 then trade them both mid season and tank. Would they need to keep 2 goalies all year? A certain number of weeks/days?

CC says it's a blatant tank job then? I agree that there should be a formalized process to stop a subversion such as this

[The BBKL Insider]

my idea rules against that. You can't outright trade your goalies, that's tanking and would be fined accordinly

[bills09]

Just lower waiver elidgibilty for goalies would force nhl starters or backups to end up on waivers
Otherwise the system is fine pay for your system and quit crying

[CAM]

Not a bad idea Billy.

[bills09]

Currently 75 gp and 22 i would vote for a 65gp and 22

Which would be a season and a half of split starts or one monster rookie goaltender season
Would also judge by goalie starts not ggp

[Chuck Norris]

How many goalies would a 10ggp drop really affect? I'd be curious to know.

[Bruyns]

In the other league a bunch are in that was the rule change I supported and felt would keep teams from hoarding NHL goalies in the minors. We went as low as 30GP since the theory behind it is once a backup has 30NHL games under his belt he is usually in the NHL to stay. Teams could still carry a 3rd goalie on the bench, but the goal is to stop full time NHL goalies from being buried in the minors.

[CAM]

I like it Matt. I think we are going to have a very healthy list of players on waivers this year with the changes.

[Bruyns]

Only change in this league this year was dropping the age from 28 to 26, but it will add a few players. I think 120GP is a good number for skaters, but I would support lowering goalie GP.

Steve's suggestion is good too, but I was of the understanding the league already works this way. If you miss GGP due to injury and show you have made an effort to obtain a goalie the penalty would be much more lenient then when Hong missed GGP and refused to trade for a goalie and lost his 1st.

[kimmer]

Lol is that all everyone remembers Hong for lol

[Handsome&FairMike]

Like both Matt and Steve's ideas. This year waiver age is 26 right?

[Matthew]

Pretty sure there would be a lot of unforeseen issues with Matt's suggestion.

[Bruyns]

It's already in place in another league. The only issue is you can't have waiver exempt goalies with 30+GP meaning less goalies buried in the minors. Obviously it's too late to implement now and I'm not saying we should.

Yes age is 26 this season Mike.
