SAVE S,SHUTOUTS,GAA,SV% (4/13 = 30%)
30% of your scoring is in two roster spots (2/20 = 10%). Omit goaltending at your peril. This isn't an H2H where you can punt and grab a hot goalie or rely on spot starts. In a 12 team league with 2 starting G slots, I would ensure you have at least three undisputed starting goaltenders. Four would be even better so you could hold your league mates to ransom and demand the world. Provided it's an active league with good trading, I would hoard the crap out of goalies.
Next observation: wing-eligible players who take faceoffs (Joe Pavelski, etc) are extremely valuable. Load up on wing-eligible centres and you should be laughing.
Yet another observation: only two of your nine skater stats are anything related to scoring, maybe 3 if you count SOG. That's a messed up league configuration, but it's your job to exploit it. Target players that hit, block, get PIM, and SOG. You've already got Wayne Simmonds but make sure you get Evander Kane. He shines in this format. Don't focus on names because that will mislead. If you were to focus on hits, blocks, PIM, FOW, and SOG systemically you'd be way ahead. If you can dominate those five categories then a poor showing in G and A won't matter too much.
No defender should be on your roster that has less than 100 hits and 100 blocks. Radko Gudas is a monster in this format. Look to the Kings too. Lots of good value to be had.
(I don't want to be too promotion-ish, but weird setups like this are why fantasyhockeygeek.com exists. If you want legit rankings that are customized to your setup, look no further)
Again, sorry this is late but hope it helps!
