    Well the Yahoo projected is off by at least 10 games at each position.
    I just went through to see. using frozen tools to calculate games remaining, if you set to May 8th and calculate gaems remaining, they all come up way short. If you set it to end of season, the numbers in Yahoo make sense. basically the games played calculator in yahoo is assuming all the rescheduled games are played.

    i dont know what yahoo uses to calculate projected GP but i noticed it was off back in mid-february and i alerted one of my buddies in one of my leagues as a heads up. i assumed it was likely due to so many postponed games throwing whatever tracking mechanism out of whack but when it didnt fix itself when more or less every team was back to normal i manually counted how many games my players had left starting in early-April.

    the issue only has gotten worse it seems. what exacerbates the problem is that 90%+ of the teams play on the same days in the final week so it'll be difficult to make up games played. May 1st/3rd/8th basically everyone plays. Large majority plays on May 5th.
    One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.

    oh balls, i just did the math on one of my teams, for Defense, Yahoo says I have 44 games left and I am right on track (0) for games played. Just counted and I only have 34 scheduled games until May 8th, so I'm actually -10! Dammit!!!!

    Oh god. This is why I made my own spreadsheet a few weeks back. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though. It's been a pain.

    I guess this is a good argument for extending the season for roto leagues where possible.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid
