After discussion from the boards, Hodge and I determined that we will increase our skater categories from 8 to 9.
We've already determined that PPP will change to Special Teams Points (STP). Therefore, here are the current 8 categories that are locked in for next year: G, A, +/-, PIM, STP, SOG, HIT, BLK
There was still open discussion on TOI vs ATOI vs shifts. These are similar categories, so let's table that for now, and we will simply vote on TOI to represent all three of these similar categories. If TOI is selected, we can have a separate vote or conversation on choosing one of TOI, ATOI, or Shifts.
You need to select one category to add among Faceoffs, TOI, Defenseman Points, and GWG.
Faceoffs gives more value to centers, especially centers that have RW/LW eligibility. Both scoring and grinder-type centers will gain value.
TOI gives more value to reward elite all-around players and workhorses, but especially defensemen, and especially the players that play a lot but don't score a lot, like Ryan Suter and Roman Josi and Danny DeKeyser
Defenseman Points gives more value to offensive defenseman.
