I've been doing hockey pools, regular season and playoffs, for 30 years. I've done them with friends, with co-workers, with CP members. Virtually every one has been just straight points for skaters and wins + shutouts for goalies. A handful have included penalty minutes, or mandated a certain number of picks for each position.
But now I've learned that something much more complex is considered 'standard':
G = 3
A = 2
PPP = 1
SOG = 0.5
BLK = 0.5
+/- = 0.5
W = 3
SO = 1
SVS = 0.4
GA = -3

So is this kind of stat-heavy pool really standard? I find it's tough enough to get 8 or 12 people face-to-face for a straight points draft. How many people really dig into stats and prepare for an NHL draft in this detail? Is this a recent trend owing to the rise of analytics? Are these a strictly online thing?
