Re: New equipment effects
I have no idea which "style" of goalie is going to be hurt the most. Some solid arguments above as to why bigger goalies will hurt the most and the least. With no precedent it's hard to predict what will happen and the unexpected will occur.
For that reason I am downgrading my confidence level in all goalies going forward, the less proven the more I'm concerned. I predict at least one top-10 goalie will be hurt much more by the new equipment than the rest, due to style, non adapting, mental confidence. In my one year league next year I'm pushing all goalies further down the charts and if I'm in a keeper I'm not giving as much value for any goalie until I see how they play under the new gear.
