Don’t many fantasy leagues reward pims and not just points? Is 60 extra projected PIMS worth more than 30 extra projected points?

ESPN preseason rankings score penalty minutes at 3 points each.
Apparently…

Does it state what the scoring system rules are for the comparison they are making? Typically these strange comparisons tend to say more about the scoring systems of a fantasy league than it does about the players, or any opinion of players. There are no points awarded for being 20% faster than everyone else and totally changing the dynamic of the play but blocked shots are usually worth a tenth of a point.

From a fantasy perspective, Bouchard over Hughes isn’t really that controversial.

In my non professional opinion and no fantasy hockey experience,
Why is McDavid not the best player in fantasy hockey. Or even Matthews who contributes well on both sides of the puck.
Does their fantasy award points for mouth guard chews per 60? If so that explains why Tkachuk is higher than McDavid.

Probably points for hits or PIMS. I understand hits but I’ll never understand giving points for an aspect of your game that hurts your teams chances of winning like PIMS do.

Every keeper league I’ve been a part of falls apart after one year. Finding one that doesn’t would be my fantasy.

Shouldn’t be a surprise. McDavid is going to get points but Tkachuk could be a point per game with 100+ more hits

I wonder how many leagues are gonna massively underrate Matthews again. Can’t believe he went #4 in my keepers league last year (that dude won obviously).
If your league counts blocks, he’s a #1 draft pick.

Josi over makar makes sense in some league formats actually. In my dynasty league Josi has been the no. 1 d-man for the last 3 out of 4 seasons (I own him)
MouthofthePenguin
yeah, but we know that ESPN is fucking stupid when it comes to all things hockey, so….

This is why I don’t trust or use any stats that sites peddle out. I simply watch games and use my own eyes to determine who’s great.

Its *fantasy*, which rewards things other than points, not who is better or will score more points …

After finding the page these are not « rankings » these are Roto scoring projections, this isn’t a subjective thing

If you have hits pims and blocked shots a 100 points tkachuck is prob worth more than mcdavid.

Why ESPN bother with this when they don’t care about NHL?

Tkachuk is awesome. I’d love to have him on my team but my god if he isn’t the most overrated player in the league, I don’t know who is.
He had a pretty average playoffs. I know he had his moments. He had one very good game in the SCF but the other 6 games, he was more or less invisible.

these aren’t rankings, these are projections (their roto projections, to be specific). Their [projections for points leagues ](https://fantasy.espn.com/hockey/players/projections?leagueFormatId=2)are different.
