Draft goaltending based on teams, not individually
Instead of drafting individual goaltenders, like Demko and Hill, you would draft goaltending based on the team. In this example, the Canucks and Golden Knights. It’s the same idea as drafting a team defence in fantasy football.
This means you would get all their starts (Demko, Lankinen, silovs, Hill, Samsonov).
It would take away the goaltending issues of drafting them too high because of season to season inconsistencies, injuries, and minimum goaltending requirements.
I’ve ran this idea to all the leagues I’ve played in and everyone is on board as it would make the goaltending position better, and more valuable.
Thank you for your feedback regarding having team goaltenders instead of individual goaltenders. We will pass it along to our team!

Roster flexibility. Currently we can only make roster moves, including dropping , if the player has not played yet , that day.
Allow tomorrows transactions to be applied today, regardless if a player has already played today, so that we can make changes, and participate after work instead of before work.
Thank you for your feedback regarding roster flexibility. It sounds like the Daily-Tomorrow roster transaction deadline may be something that you are looking for. In private leagues, roster transaction deadlines can be set to Daily-Tomorrow so that all transactions go into effect on rosters the following the day after they are made. This will allow tomorrow's transactions to be allowed today like you mentioned. More information regarding roster transaction deadlines can be found here.

Please fix start active players. When all slots are filled, this feature benches my top talent.
A sorting preference for "Start active players." It is too common to log in and find that my highest drafted, and most valuable players were benched by this feature and someone from the waiver wire is in their place
Enabling the Start Active Players tool will move players from your bench to your starting lineup. But, it will only replace players under certain conditions:
- Bench player has a scheduled game and starting player doesn’t.
- Bench player is eligible to play at the position of a starting player.
- Bench player is healthy and starting player is injured (and both have scheduled games).
Rankings/projections are not taken into account when using the Start Active Players tool. You can purchase Fantasy Plus in order to upgrade to Start Optimal Players where the best ranked players are put into your lineup.

Allow a different max games played limit for the goalie position (ESPN does)
We have a points only league, and it makes sense to have a limit of 82 games played for forwards and defensemen, but 82 does not make sense for goalies. We have a limit of 65 per goalie slot that we have to manually monitor and enforce.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will share that with our product team.

I just confirmed with Yahoo that if I change the “roster” lock time it also makes it so that the lineup can be changed throughout the week,
Change the “roster” lock time to first puck drop of the week instead of Sunday at midnight while still locking lineups for the week at first puck drop.

Add single conference player universes
I play in a six man league and we do baseball and hockey each year. In baseball, we limit the players we can use to NL only due to the small size of the league. It keeps things more competitive. I want to have that available in fantasy hockey too, where you can make only western conference or eastern conference players available for a given year. This should be very easy to implement and would make a world of difference to my league. Thank you.
Hey Matt,
Thanks for your suggestion.
We will pass along your request to our product team.
Thanks,
