    This year we've made no exception, all the players' starting values are based on our algorithm. That's why Martin Jones fell out this way ahead of this season. Since we've got a reliability function built into the algorithm which is based on last season you could actually argue Jones being undervalued when he's starting. But then again, he won't start enough games this season to justify suchh high price.

    Goalies are the "oranges" of Dobbernomics.
    Would've been a more interesting vote if you had kept it to just the apples?

    Goalies get HUGE points per game. More than forwards if they win a game with 0 or 1GA.
    And the entire goalie group is valued pretty highly.
    And since any rostered spot contributes points... then you have to know goalie vs. skater scoring.
    Tough part for those who don't have a spreadsheet is understanding goalie value weighted versus forward weighting.
    It's a lot of math to "show" somebody why/how Martin Jones could be worth it.

    Most people have probably $15m attributed to their goalie pair and this style of league is just "trading" players as if they were stocks.
    So unlike most fantasy leagues, there's no reason to hold onto any player for a FULL season.
    That part is also unclear to many people that didn't play last year.

    Anyways... I get it... but it's absolutely a confusing poll to anybody that didn't play religiously last year.

    Pengwin7, you're right. Perhaps I shouldn't have included Jones in the poll.

    Jones is obvious but Niskanen is probably overvalued too.

    If we were to remove the goalie, I would have voted for Niskanen as well.

    Jones is my vote, but without goalies as some mentioned, then I would vote Niskanen.
