Please restore the previous Yahoo Fantasy draft-room layout, or at minimum add it back as a third “Classic” option before the 2026–27 hockey season.

The new draft layouts make it significantly harder to follow a live snake draft. Previously, I could see the recent sequence of picks at a glance and immediately recognize positional runs, which managers had selected which players, and what was happening between my selections. The new interface prominently shows the most recent pick while requiring multiple clicks to get back to the broader draft board/recent-picks information.

That is not just a cosmetic preference. In a timed fantasy draft, the sequence of recent selections is essential information. Experienced managers use it constantly to anticipate positional runs and determine whether a player is likely to make it back to their next pick. Hiding that information behind additional navigation makes the draft room slower and less functional.

There are already two new layout options. Please add the previous layout as a third “Classic” or “Advanced” option, or restore a persistent, information-dense recent-picks panel that can remain visible throughout the draft.

I have used Yahoo Fantasy Hockey for years and strongly prefer Yahoo, but this redesign materially worsens the live draft experience. Please address it before hockey drafts begin.
