Just so you know... I am done. It is very ignorant to think I started this discussion for myself. I just hate D in fantasy and didn't realize the quality of players that will have to sit while they play. Now I do... but it is too late. Just assume this post never happened... should have known better than to try to start up a discussion with fools like the thrashers running their mouth. Cya Dude, c'mon. So because you hate D in fantasy hockey, we should change the rules for the whole league? Gimme a break. What about the rest of us who like the dimension D bring to fantasy? We're barely halfway through the draft and you're already wanting to make changes? Why don't we get a season under our belts before switching everything up. There's nothing wrong with the rules as they are. Considering our active rosters are 13 deep (6 fwds, 4 D, 2 G, 1 util), and only 4 are D, that's just below 31% of our active roster, not 36% or whatever your number was. In relation, the NHL % is 33%, so in our league, D are actually even LESS important than they are in NHL. I'm all for making the league better, I just don't see how your suggestion makes the league better. Sorry. Go ahead and continue to make your suggestions, but don't get mad if somebody disagrees with them. And as for my 'essays', I'm sorry that I present my thoughts and back them up with some substance. I'm sorry that's too much for you to read. I'll try and keep 'em shorter for ya next time If everybody else wants to make the change, fine, but IMO, the changes shouldn't come into effect for at least a few years down the road. I'm drafting my team looking a few years into the future, assuming we're using 4 D. If we all of a sudden decide to go to 3, without time to adjust, it screws up my whole draft strategy and my plans for the future. I'm not saying it all about me or my team, but this is the only major draft we're doing for this league. If we go and change the rules after some of us have drafted our team based on a different set of rules, and keeping in mind it's a dynasty, then

(continued)... it kinda defeats the purpose of it being a dynasty league.

great players will have to sit while 40 pt defenseman play every day I just really wished we would have discussed it before... looks like we are stuck with it. I wish you could see it would be better for the league to allow more offense to play everyday but you are too selfish. Gawd! How is that better? Please explain that to me. How is artificially introducing more offence to the pool better? I don't understand. More offence doesn't necessarily make it a better league, and I'm struggling to figure out why you think that?

In relation, the NHL % is 33%, so in our league, D are actually even LESS important than they are in NHL. As I said I am done... but this one I have to clarify. 36% is accurate. 4/11= .36 I obviously didn't put goalies in on purpose because they are a different animal. Any moron with a little common sense could see where I got the number from.

Get a grip on yourself. What's with all the name calling and insults? Is that really necessary? I understand you're upset, but get a grip dude.
And if you wanna play that game and get rid of goalies to help your arguement, fine. Then our % goes to 36, but the NHL % goes to 40% (2 out of 5 skaters). If we're not gonna maintain some semblance with the NHL, then what's the point? We might as well just use football rosters (obvious exageration for effect here, but you *should* get the point).
Do you not feel you're undermining the Commish a bit here? I mean, it's his league, he set the rules, graciously invited you to join, and you joined with a pretty good idea of what the rules were gonna be. Why do you now feel it necessary to make changes to the rules that Derek set out? I just don't get it. Why can't we just all be happy with the rules that were set out at the start that we all agreed on? Why do we need to start thinking about making changes before we're even half way through the draft? There's nothing wrong with the rules Derek set up, so let's just stick with them.

This reminds me so much like my battle with the Canadiens the other day. (although that's resolved). Least we should have some good rivalries. ;D
Anyways, I agree with Atlanta about most of the stuff (and I also hate D in fantasy hockey as well, and haven't drafted any yet). It's simple for me..everyone drafted expecting these rules...you change them and everything is thrown off.
Don't try to fix what isn't broke, and if we play out a season and find flaws that need to be corrected, then make changes...Even then, if we change something, wait a few yrs. for them to go into effect, so people have time to adjust.

Even I still dun have a D in my team yet, I think the current setting is just fine and I really like how it set by Derek. Let's just play one season to see how it goes. If we really find any major flaw of the rules, then discuss and fix it next summer Well, i think this thread is already settled down but I just want to voice my opinion. Now I go back to my cave

I purposely drafted good defencemen in the first place knowing that we played 4 a night compared to 2 forwards per position. Changing it now would make my team even worse than it already is.

Except your team is actually good, whereas without my defence the only good player I have is Kovalchuk.

We all drafted based on the same expected framework...
