    I actually DID play in a league where that was tried... once.
    GM NoGoalie (Lokomotiv Kamikaze) finished 2nd after leading the league all year.
    I'm the guy who can say I caught that guy and taught him a lesson!!! (Rolling Stoners!)

    Somebody will have to tell me if this league shows up publicly (from 2011):

    The guy started Jimmy Howard (DET) twice and got the GAA/SV% he need for 11/11.
    Then traded Howard away for Byfuglien (WPG) and used his surplus of skaters on bench to exploit the "no maximum" of skater GP.

    His draft:
    Lokomotiv Kamikazes
    1. (3) Steven Stamkos (TB - C)
    2. (20) Brad Richards (Det - C)
    3. (25) Ryan Kesler (Anh - C)
    4. (42) Vincent Lecavalier (LA - C)
    5. (47) Alexander Semin (Mon - LW,RW)
    6. (64) Jimmy Howard (Det - G)
    7. (69) Marian Gaborik (Ott - RW)
    8. (86) Martin Havlat (StL - RW)
    9. (91) Clarke MacArthur (Ott - LW)
    10. (108) Mikhail Grabovski (VGK - C)
    11. (113) Nikolai Kulemin (NYI - LW,RW)
    12. (130) Cory Schneider (NJ - G) - *who he dropped quickly after the Howard starts & trade
    13. (135) Ondrej Pavelec (NYR - G) - *who he dropped quickly after the Howard starts & trade

    14. (152) John-Michael Liles (Bos - D)
    15. (157) Chris Pronger (Ari - D)
    16. (174) Jason Pominville (Buf - RW)
    17. (179) Brent Johnson (Pit - G) - *who he dropped quickly after the Howard starts & trade
    18. (196) Sean Avery (NYR - LW)
    19. (201) Cody Franson (Chi - D)
    20. (218) Chris Kunitz (Chi - LW)
    21. (223) Jordan Leopold (Min - D)
    22. (240) Victor Hedman (TB - D)

    The pool was actually a DAILY-START with NO TRANSACTION LIMITS.
    (both mistakes by the commissioner)

    So all he had to do was absolutely POUND AWAY at skater GP.

    He lead all year... so incredibly that the entire league lost interest.
    Except me. I watched & stayed ahead of him in peripherals, guarding all the good PIM/HIT/BLK players through streaming.
    For most of the season - he thought he didn't need to win those... but I had done the calculation!

    With all the other teams giving up, I jumped several in the standings and then slow-guarded my goalie stats.

    It was quite a ride.
    The GM, "Brendan", shows up as still playing Yahoo Fantasy GOLF & BASEBALL.
    But he hasn't played fantasy hockey since 2013. Boo-ya! Take that!


    [Anyways - what actually happens is one of two things: A) A group of casual fantasy hockey GMs will all bail.... leaving ONE GM to potentially rally... or B) A group of passionate fantasy hockey fans will eventually work together/bail/trade-off so that GM-NoGoalie gets targeted in skater cats... I mean, you can't win them all in maxGP if 3-teams decide to go FULL PERIPHERALS and 6-teams decide to go FULL SCORING. 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 1-12-12-1 just won't get it done! I think our league GMs would actually pull this sort of thing off - even without collusion. We'd be too smart & too annoyed. And of course GM wouldn't get an invite back to RHRS!!!)

    I know someone, who is in this league, that punted goalies very deliberately in a league we were in. Categories were W, L, GAA, SV% and Shutouts. He won by 4.5 points with 38 goalie points to my 34.5. As soon as I saw the L category I wondered if someone would try it but I wasn't brave enough. Winning two of four categories isn't enough to try it.

    The problem with winning a category is that the second place guy gets one less point than you no matter the score. So if Pengwin, above, can stay close in those guaranteed wins and score big in the punted categories then it's not much advantage.

    This is the problem with Ma's drown the goalie pool strategy IMO. If he does it perfectly, he gains four points on the field but leaves his skaters too weak to compete.

    Haha we should!

    Nah, main reason I would never do that is because I don't like to play that way. I would never want to win that way, even though, in this league, it would never work.

    Oooooooo... nice.
    Goalie intrigue is always fun.
    Speaking of which - let's speculate on why Ma is benching his goalies in the same strategy that sucked for him last year!
    #DoesntWorkWhenYourGAAandSV%Blows

    Things to Watch in November:
    1. Can Shoeless' darling jack&john goalies carry enough weight for the Devil's Rejects to stay top three?
    2. Does LOTR's Freddie Andersen keep up the goalie wins with Matthews out?
    3. How long does Scott ride the Kinkaid-glitter-magic for?
    4. What place in the standings is The Comish really in right now?
    5. How far does temek push his negative defenseman GP... currently at -17 with Weber/Edler as the elves on the shelves?
    6. Does PenguinHunter cry himself to sleep every night about this team?
    7. Is Quentin's time in the sunshine over - or is Kovalchuk the answer to the dismal skater output?

    No he doesn't. He cries himself to sleep about other things though, He is trying his best and he should receive a participation medal! haha

    In all honesty, I don't want to make excuses, but I would like to think I would be better off if I had my computer with me when I headed back home for my grandpa's funeral and honestly, the month of October, fantasy took a back seat to a lot of other things. I apologize for my brutal performance and am trying my best to turn things around.

    I have points that I am willing to trade at a discount.
