I know I shouldn't be thinking about card creation yet for two reasons. One, the GHL playoffs are still only in the first round. And, two, the NHL has not committed to calling the season just yet. However, I have question regarding fortitude.
Normally we base the fortitude rating on an 82 game schedule and I highly doubt 82 games is a realistic goal at this point, so how much of a logistical nightmare will it be to base this year's fortitude on a 68 game schedule since that is the least amount of games played by any team? (Hurricanes and Islanders) Players that played 69+ games will just receive a 10 I suppose, as would a player that played 83 or more in a normal season. How many factors will have to be changed to make this work and will it be difficult or relatively easy to incorporate into the formula?

I was thinking that we could just prorate the players stats by giving them their season average across how every many games their NHL team has left to play.

Been wondering about this myself.

If we were to pro rate, would we use the 'on pace for' feature on the hockey news? I got to thinking about Matt's comment above and that does seem to be the easiest solution. It would give a few players stats they may have have earned but certainly probably a simple solution

Just thought about something else, that would only work for the basic stats, not steals, shot blocks, etc.

I think Glenn mentioned previously that most of the stats used are on a per minute of ice time basis. I think the only attribute that will need adjusting for card creation is Fortitude.

Eric earns the gold star for paying attention in class. He is spot on. Nothing will need to be pro-rated short of the GP category. I think I mentioned it in chat while watching a game a week or so back that this will actually help guys like Geuntzal who instead of having a fortitude of 3 or 4, he will probably end up with a 5 or 6.   |

Will this change the threshold for cards being lowered? I know in the past if you played under a certain amount of games say 41 your card gets capped so instead of being 105 can only be 85 max. Will this still happen and will the # of games be the same?
On your team for example Aube-Kubel only had 36 GP not enough for a "full" NHL card but likely would have finished with 49 GP enough to not be capped.

Excellent question, Dane

A GP will be the only stat pro rated then these types of players would be allotted an NHL card. Nerfing will still be in place to limit guys with smaller sample sizes.
