New Goalie scoring

[Devils GM(Colin)]

We are proposing a new goalie scoring change.

Current Scoring:

Wins: 3 points
Shutout: 4 points
Saves: 0.1 point
Goal Against: -1 point

New Scoring:

Wins: 2.5 points
Shutout: 3 points
Saves: 0.1 point
Goal Against: -0.75 point

Shootout loss : 1 point

Here is a spreadsheet with 2018/19 points from both current scoring and new scoring:

You will notice that the top goalies actually get a slight boost over the season ( 5 -10 points ) but the lower goalies get a large boost (30-40 points). Although the top goalies get an overall boost, Shutouts will result in a smaller point total for a game and goalies that are pulled or get shelled will have less negative points in a game.

We've noticed over the years that the goalie point swing is too large and the negative points detracting teams from playing their goalies from middling teams, especially late in the weekly matchup. I played with many variations of scoring and this one seemed like it was the most stable change.

This is an experiment and if people hate it we can revert back to old scoring or tweak it next season. For goalies that are given new contracts this summer we will can alter their deals if we do change the scoring again.

Please vote on YES or NO and I appreciate some comments explaining why you don't like it. This is not rewarding bad goaltending, it is just making the lower half of the goalies be rosterable. There are 20 teams and with the current scoring goalies are boom or bust.

We will leave voting up until Sunday July 7th at 11:59 PM EST. If you do not vote I will pester you with PMs

Thank you

You're doing a great job Colin! I love the new scoring format! We'll see if we get enough votes now!

16 votes, 2 vacant GMs, 2 lazy GMs. Either way this has been unanimous and will take effect ASAP!

Hopefully this will make goaltending a more balanced system I will implement the new scoring on fantrax so if you have prepared for a re-sign with a goalie you may need to adjust

Thanks for participating
