    Default Time on ice

    Does anyone use this stat in their league? My league is considering adding it and I think it's ridiculous personally.

    I don't but my understanding would be that it's another way to make defensemen valuable. Probably a better stat than shorthanded points.

    Seems dumb. Would just stack on the pain when a goalie gets pulled -- on top of a crap SV% and GAA.
    Games played would at least benefit goalies on bad teams that get a lot of starts, but struggle to win.

    What? The only value I see in it is making defensemen more valuable. I would never allow my league to add it, but definitely not just for goalies.

    Interesting. Wouldn't it make more sense to just add saves or a minimum start limit?

    Yes we are bumping up the min starts from 1 to 3 yet this guy who has to chime in on everything wants time on ice as well, since it rewards workhorse goalies...which is dumb.

    That is silly. Tell him saves rewards workhorse goalies, and so does wins. I could strap on some pads and go stand in the corner and get credit for minutes played, it takes zero skill......stupid cat.

    For me it really depends on what other categories you have. While I'm not a huge proponent of time on ice, I would prefer it over Shut Outs or Game winning goals (2 that I find to be a bit random). At least with Time on Ice it has an element of predictability to it, allowing you to plan.
    I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of random categories like Darren mentioned. He nailed it though with his comment. At least with TOI, you can plan for it better than you would for a SHO or GWG.

    Completely agree that it's ridiculous. It's a tool to help evaluate a player's role on the team, but not a stat for fantasy. At all. Shorthanded points is silly too. If you want to increase dman value, use blocked shots
