Does anyone use this stat in their league? My league is considering adding it and I think it's ridiculous personally.
Sorry, I meant for goalies only.
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.
Points-only, Full Keeper Dynasty League
Active roster (no starts, just total points): 12 FW, 6 D, 1 Goalie
Forwards: Kucherov, Barkov, Teravainen, Seguin, Hoffman, Lindholm, Gusev, Horvat, Meier, Perron, Schwartz, Johansen, Pavelski, Buchnevich, Hischier, Granlund, Bracco
Defense: Josi, Dahlin, Letang, Gostisbehere, Ekman-Larsson, Petry, Slavin, Keith, Matheson
Goal: Lehner, Holtby, Varlamov
Farm: Soderstrom, York, Woo, Tracey, Dorofeyev
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.
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.

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.
