Is that what the teams play? An 84 game regular season?If that's the case, and we want a "reality based" game, then I would have a roster with the same number of players that an NHL team has; What is it, 20?
In real life a team carries 25 players on it's roster during the regular season and dresses 18 + 2 goalies a game for a total of 20, with the remaining 5 being "scratched" from the lineup for that game.
Quote:
I would make the starting lineup every day consist of 3 centers, 3 left wings, 3 right wings, 6 defensemen, and one goalie, just like teams do in real life.
In real life many teams will play four lines and sometimes rotate 5 to 6 defensmen. So if you really want to mirror a real life starting line-up, than a starting lineup would consist of 12 starting Forwards, 6 starting Defenseman and a Goalie for a total of 19 starting players. Personally I think that we should allow 2 starting goalies because on many a night, it is not uncommon for NHL teams to decide to sit who they originally anounced as their starting goalie and play their backup at game time. So for that reason alone I think that we should start TWO (2) starting Goalies.
Roster should look like this :
C C C C LW LW LW LW RW RW RW RW D D D D D D G G ---- BN BN BN BN BN
Teams would carry a total of 25 players and start 20
I think that this would be the perfect setup to use.
We have the whole summer to go before entertaining the style of play that we want for hockey. So let's get through baseball season because right now I am spending enough time managing my two Yahoo Fantasy BB teams, my Salary Cap BB team, oh, and that stupida focking best ball golf game!
EDIT: ***Note to Don Malta*** : next year you WILL play in the Fantasy Hockey League. It's the least that you can do to make up for talking me into playing this stupida focking golf game!
