    Does anyone know how long ESPN is usually down for in the off season?

    Matter of opinion, I love ESPN and think it's a great site. And personally like it more than any other site I've used.

    Honestly I remember it being down for less time than this last year, but I can't remember. Definitely will not be down until mid-September.

    ESPN was down two days last year for the maintenance. This year, it has been down since last Monday, so 9 days. I can't remember a maintenance ever taking more than 10 days so it might be back as soon as tomorrow. I noticed people are starting to complain on the forums there so chances are it wont be much longer.

    Hopefully it means a lot of cool updates? I thought I remembered it only being down for a few days last year, but 2 years ago it was down for about 2 weeks I think?

    Safe to say, it will be up by Friday the 22nd lol

    I just checked and the maintenance appears to be done so I think it is back up and running once your league manager activates the league for 2015.

    Got mine up and running.

    Of note, once again this year they have reduced all players to 1 position in the offseason. I love it and wish they would keep it like this but inevitably they will add dual-positions once the season begins!

    Burns is RW
    Byfuglien is D
    Seguin/Malkin/Giroux are all C
    Those are the ones that I checked.

    This.

    Once you're used to Fantrax, you feel like you're slumming it with any other site.

    I'm not fully relying on these positions yet. I sadly think it could still change. The entire site hasn't been updated with offseason moves (Spezza/Hemsky are still listed as playing for OTT as example).

    And I disagree with this. I've used Fantrax before and didn't think it was anything special.

    Good catch, I didn't bother to check all players just did a quick check of popular guys known to have dual-eligibility in the past. Here's something super weird: If I look at my team from last season it lists Cammalleri as a C/LW for the Devils but if I go to this year's lobby it lists him as a C for the Flames, weird. Certainly more player updates to come!

    I'm just hoping the updates don't include position changes.

    As for dual-eligibilty, ESPN adds a position eligibility once a payer has been listed in a teams official lineup at that position for 10 games.
