This is my first year of playing fantasy hockey and I need some help. I'm starting a league and I'm not sure what kind of league to put together for 10-12 teams. Roto? Head to Head? Points? Also, how many starting positions are good? Maybe 2 forwards, 2 defensemen, 1 goalie? What position is most valuable? Any good draft strategies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very excited about playing this year

Maybe if this your first year you should play a few different formats to see what you like instead of running a league

I would say the most valuable position is a goalie because there are only a few elite goalies. In this condensed season though, back ups will play a bigger role than usual.
Draft strategies would be:
-picking linemates
-get guys with lots of PP time. You can reference powerplay points and get those guys
-know that it is hard to play a full season and nagging injuries will harm anybody's team
-defense is thin, and usually center is deep. However, there are elite centers which you just can't ignore drafting

Who are the elite goalies? And should I pick a goalie in the first round? Who would be sleeper picks?
