If voted in, the extra roster spot would mimic the 4 lines of an actual NHL team. Our roster would change from its current yahoo status to the following;
4 Centers 4 LW 4 RW
6 D
2 Goalies
1 Utility
3 Bench spots
This change would eliminate the float roster spot and make 2 less bench spots each night.

I voted no on this, mainly for the way it's distributed. The way this is set up above, we'd move from 16 active skaters per day (3C,3LW,3RW,1F,1U,5D) to 19 active skaters per day. That's a pretty big increase. We're forced to play another D moving to 6 active and positionally this could hurt teams that may already struggle to use 3 C/LW/RW. I think allowing the use of that extra Forward spot we have now works well and I think 5 D is more than enough.
Imagine a team that has 14 forwards on it, 6 defense and 4 goalies. That's 24 players, that means 12 of your 14 forwards would have to be comprised of 4C, 4LW, 4RW. That's forcing us too much into a corner and not everyone is going to be able to do that. If we stay at 3C, 3LW, 3RW, that's forcing us to always have those positions filled with the majority of our roster, but the other 5/14 forwards spots in this example could be 2LW's, 3RW's or 3C, 1LW, 1RW etc. We need to keep that flexibility in our rosters especially with the way Yahoo handles positons eligibility and changes.
Going to 4C,4LW,4RW would be a bad idea in my opinion. I'm very much against it.
If we're to increase the roster size by 1, I don't think we need to increase the active skaters from 16-19. If anything increase it by 1 also. 1 extra roster spot, 1 extra utility spot. Teams can play whatever position they want in there. I think that'd work better for the league and also allow flexibility for all teams. Adding 3 active skater spots per day is too much imo.
I'm a supporter of no changes at all here.
