Rule change vote #1 (Blocked Shots)

[Rob]

We've dissected this topic several times throughout the years.  Let's make the call.

I would say that if this rule change goes forward we should look at revising how we discount real life defenseman salaries to 66% to get our resign values. It seems like adding blocked shots will impact the value of defensemen more then forwards.

It'll also affect things as early as this year's FA.

The other question is what value are you going to put on them?

Same point value as hits?

Yes, the reduction would have to go away. That's part of this for sure. Defense salaries would go up to 100%.

Yea, for sure.  0.25 seems like a good idea.  Same as hit or SoG. 

Though if any of our more analytical members want to flesh it out a bit to see what works best, I'm all ears.

Goalie salaries are reduced as well?

Wow, I'm behind the times here...

Nah I just can't type

I'm going to propose that extension values will be updated 1/1/20 with D players losing that reduction.  Early extensions with the old reduced values will be allowed right up until the New Year.

Rob, can you change it on Fantrax to incorporate block shots for like a day and I can compile a spreadsheet of a before and after affect.  Right now it isn't a tracked stat and I'd need to go in and add block shots per player by looking it up.

I created a dummy league - you should all see it in your Leagues on Fantrax.  I added Blocks at 0.25.

Corey - you should be setup as a commissioner and you can mess with the point value to see how it works at 0.5, or other figures.
