Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Okay, so you are probably wondering what this thread is for. 
I had an idea.
What about if HFNYR kept our own ratings of our players this season? I've seen this type of thing done before, and it can be useful, and work. For someone who's not able to watch every game or if you miss a month of games or you want to use a consensus to make a point, having the forum's consensus on how each player has played for the season or even just one game and compared to the rest of the team could be useful. I also don't think its that hard to get it up and running, and working.
How does it work?
This is just my initial opinion, input on how we could make it work is welcomed. I would say that each regular season game each poster gets 10 points you can give players for playing well and 10 you can take away from players for playing poorly. And those ten points can be divided however you want. You can give one player +10, -10 to another, two players +5, one player -10, one -7, the other -3. However you want to give out your points. I'd say that its probably fair to make it so you don't have to allocate +10 and -10 for each game, we don't need to criticize players if we win 5-0. If it was a very uneven match though, you can give out +10 and -10. Please don't give a player you dislike -10 if he did nothing wrong or +10 for a player who did nothing that well. Don't use this contest for that type of thing, only participate if you believe you are giving a fair opinion of what happened. And for tracking purposes, I suggest we take the first five rankings per match. It'll be way too difficult to keep track of like 20 or 30, if that many want to participate, although if someone wants to keep track of that, maybe we can, but if I am keeping track of it, I think first five is good. No limit on how often you can participate, as much as you want, you just gotta be the first however many submissions we decide will be accepted after each game. Total +'s and -'s of the forum for each game will be calculated, and that'll be how it works. And then at the end of the season, I think we'll get the forum's consensus on how every player played. The best should have very high totals, the worst should be into the negatives.
Here's a random template for how it might look for a match.
+: Kreider +3, Zuccarello +4, Lundqvist +2, McDonagh +1
-: Staal -5, Hayes -3, Desharnais -2
Just post something simple like that, and we'll have a running total posted after the rankings for each match are done.
I wanted to start this thread a little early just so we can get this running well for game 1. Maybe we can do a test run for a preseason game. Any input is welcome, maybe its a terrible idea. And if it is, I'll probably have wasted my time suggesting this, but I thought it could be productive for the forum to have this type of analysis where we keep track of seasonal ratings/rankings of our players.
