Yea and I think it's a little late to do that now either way.
I do like things the way there are. But a change we could think about is raising the salary cap to 75 mil, but not until after the draft finishes. To make any changes to cap space, or add/drop rules right now wouldn't really be that fair everyone because everyone planned their draft strategies for a 70 mil cap. However, if we raised it to 75 mil after the draft, everyone will have drafted under the same conditions and the additional cap space can be used on free agents not taken in the draft and more trades between teams before and during the season. The NHL has 23 man rosters and a cap of 65 mil. Our league has 30 man rosters and only a cap of 70 mil, while its true we do enjoy cheaper prospect contracts, one of the thrills of fantasy sports is getting talented (often expensive) players on your team. Anyway, I think its just something to think about.
Have you thought about reducing the roster to 1 active goalie a night? With 20 teams in the league it means that only half the teams can really have 2 actual starting goalies. The rest are left to piecing together backups for that 2nd starter position. might be giving an unfair competitive advantage to some teams. I am running a 16 team league now and we still only run at 1 active. Makes it a strategic/hard choice on who to start on any given night. I wouldn't recommend changing it right away due to messing up peoples strategies but just a thought for maybe a year or two from now.
Though some have stocked up on goalies for exactly this reason so I'd hate to screw them over.
Now who would have stocked up on goalies ,,,,, ahem anahiem...cough cough.... I will be curious to see what kind of advantage if any it gives the teams that did. Being a points based league there may not be that much advantage. I am used to playing head to head category leagues where it can potentially have a big impact.
