The NHL Team Totals Challenge is back for 2023-2024!

Here's how it works:

Each NHL team's Offence (Goals for), Defence (Shots against) and Goaltending (Save %) is available to be drafted. With 32 teams in the NHL, thats 96 options.

The draft will be ideally 80ish picks deep, leaving only the absolute worst options untaken. You are free to take multiple parts of one team, no limitations on that.

You draft a team comprised of a set number of Team Offence (GF), Team Defence (SA), and Goaltending (Sv%). You will likely be required to draft a set # of each of these positions. It will be scored rotisserie style, with the 1st place team getting the most points at the end of the year and the last place team getting the fewest per category. So there are only 3 categories (Team GF, Team SA, Sv%).

Notes:
- when you draft a team's O, D, or G, you get ALL of their stats. Team Offence is ALL goals for, regardless of if a forward, defenseman or goalie (that would be cool) scores the goal.


Draft:
Start date TBD, number of teams will impact # of rounds but goal is to have something like 80 picks in the draft. Last year we drafted every single option (96 picks), but I would prefer not to have people 'stuck' with teams this year, which boringly makes the picks end of the draft a mere formality.

Count me in!

[metaldude26]

I would give this a try.

[tweetdrivr]

Definitely in

[pmorrow]

Bump. Who else is interested?

[Invictus]

Picking all makes things interesting. I picked my draft spot based on assumptions of last picks, but those assumptions weren’t the most accurate.

Oh, and I’m in!

[niconasr]

I'm in again this year!

[Eskimo Brother]

Okay, so who is on our final list for this, and when are we starting the draft?

[Pengwin7]

I'd like to do this again.

[Eskimo Brother]

Looks like we have our eight participants!

[Invictus]

So Gabe out, Steve in.

[Invictus]

Spreadsheet ready for when we get draft order decided.

[metaldude26]

When do we start?

[4T2]

I’d come back but can concede my spot to metaldude if you’re already full. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now anyway so no big deal

I think we can make it work with 9 or even 10 if someone else is out there! ?
