You Canadians are all nuts!

Upon further review, I think daily lineups make more sense in leagues where the teams play several games per week. In baseball, teams play every day, often 15-20 in a row. A weekly league doesn't reflect the frequency of games. Obviously a football league only plays once per week so a weekly change makes sense. Hockey plays 2-4 times per week, and a weekly change doesn't adequately reflect the frequency of the games. (END OF SERMON).

Shots on goal sounds O.K., but is more good or bad?? Detroit goalies always face fewer shots because their defense is so good. Weaker teams give up many more shots. So, do you chose a goalie on a weak team with a poor defense so he gets lots of shots (and loses lots of games), but your fantasy team gets extra points for having such a bum defense??

ISN'T THIS FUN!!!

Shots on Goal seems like a dumb stat to me....at least as far as fantasy stats go.

Flip Murray would be a top 10 fantasy pick if that were a positive in NBA fantasy!

Top 5 in field goal attempts per game:
1. LeBron 22.0
2. McGrady 21.2
3. Kobe 20.1
4. Carmello 19.6
5. Baron Davis 19.4

Murray puts up 7.6 shots per game in his 19.4 minutes.

Yeah yeah, I was only joking. You know I'm a huge Flip Murray fan.

Hockey player only wish they could have his shooting %.

I liked GWG. I thought it was a good stat. An excellent wildcard.

I've gone back & forth on all these things a lot. The feedback is helpful.

So what I'm thinking based on all the feedback is:

We like:
Daily lineups
Roster limit (approx 65)
GWG

We don't like:
Shots on goal
penalty minutes
goalie losses

What am I forgetting?

Oh yeah, how about 1 day waiver periods instead of two?

Do you like league approved or commish approved trades better?

Add "corrupt commissioners" to the We don't like category.
