We have completely revamped the transactions area in the admin panel. Now all you have to do to complete roster drops, additions, trades and other transactions is select the player, the transaction date and voila - the rest is taken care of. No more dealing with the hassels of figuring out offset values!
In addition to the new transaction functionality, we have also introduced support for pools with a "roster reserve". This is also commonly referred to in the fantasy hockey world as a "bench", "farm team" or simply "scratched" players. Only players that been chosen to be active will accumulate points. There are a set number of active players per roster at a given time and participants can choose which of their players they want active each week (and which they want on their roster reserve).
HockeyDraft.ca has also expanded to cover more than just your hockey pool needs. In addition to new pool features and our fantasy hockey blog, we also now have NHL news and analysis, live box scores, stats, standings, player profiles and more!
