Game on...
There are two other new stats
EN (Endurance)
PO (Potential, probably only applies to sim updates)
With the EN rating in addition to DU, does this mean that players that real life injuries will matter again?
EN is a throwback to the old FHL rating, which as Mike indicates is simply a measure of the amount of icetime a player can log. Whether real-life injuries play a factor in determining a player's DU rating (not EN, I think) for the following season is up tot he ratings committee, but I'd assume it would be relevant.
PO isn't new to STHL - we had it in last year's ratings too - but you're right that it's for when the simulator is running successive seasons, rather than pinning player development on actual NHL players year over year. So it has no bearing on our league.
PS = shootout skills... crap, another pivotal stat to have to build around!
