I think it's a bit "novel" for somebody to act like its a new strategy.
Teams will still need a goalie to win.
But in H2H, especially, if you win the skater cats, you move on in playoffs.
I've been touting this for years... but seems like a clever-name for a strategy >> the actual strategy! LOL.
Yup Pengwin has been hyping this forever. And it makes sense for all the reasons he described.
Skaters have more categories, skaters are more consistent, skaters do not have ratios and cannot harm you (outside +/-).
Focus on skaters and in week goalie management (streaming good backup starts) and you have a better chance to succeed.
Now if everyone leaves goalies and you can grab Vasilevsky in say, the 3rd round, then do it. Otherwise
