I'm not sure what the best solution is, either. You can keep the current system the same but reduce goalie points overall.
Or, and this is my preference, limit how many goalie games can be played per week. The second option makes it so it's less about playing any goalie all week, but more about having 2 quality starters to play each week.
Limiting starts means people don't hoard 5 goalies, too, opening up more waiver depth options for those with goalie injuries and such.
A final option is just to say you can only carry two NHL goalies at any time.
So in recap:
- reduce points
- limit number of starts
- limit goalies held
I like the starts option, because then at least someone could reasonably have a tandem goalie and it still be worthwhile.
Even if you limit starts, I think there is still going to be a benefit to hoarding goalies. Partly just for your own personal options, but also to keep them out of hands of rivals. I'd probably go with some combination of the 2nd and 3rd options. One goalie start per night and three max goalies held not counting prospects. If someone wanted to gamble long term on spencer knight I don't think it should be held against them on a day-to-day basis.
Or maybe it should. Screw them.
