Hello my ice loving brothers,
Looking to take our 6 year ESPN keeper league to the next level. Contracts, Caps, Rookie drafts, the whole thing. What's the best platform for some mid-level serious fantasy hockey in your opinions? We might not be ready for the most extreme but something with lots of customization we can grow into. Thanks in advance.

Fantrax is amazing. I kick myself over waiting so long to move my league there. Get on board immediately. You see a lot of posts here complaining about Yahoo not having this player eligible for IR, and ESPN not having that player at the right position instead of C. None of that from Fantrax users.
fantrax... is there others?

Give me the app functionality of Yahoo over Fantrax any day of the week.
We did the ESPN to Fantrax conversion 3 years ago and haven't looked back once. It's night and day and we are so happy with Fantrax.
You don't need a dedicated app for Fantrax anymore. It's now a fully dynamic, responsive app within it's website. Simply open up your web browser on your phone and navigate to your Fantrax league as you would on a computer. The mobile version is great.

Both hockey leagues I'm in run through CBS and while its not great, it does have some nice features and is easy to navigate.
I really want them to convert to Fantrax, because I've heard it's top notch.

Up until I logged on this year I really did like ESPN. Their layout was nice and easy to read and follow and their boxscores were easy to read, the app was great.
Then, once we uploaded our offline draft there was one error, no league manager option to alter rosters, tons of other things missing. Today the app won't show games tonight and some players on the waiver wire show playing every night. In a nutshell it's been a lot of problems. If this keeps up we'll be moving our league to fantrax next year.

Fantrax has some issues as well but they're the best I've seen by far.

Thank you gents. I think I have my answer haha. Of to learn the glories of Fantrax. Jack Edwards for Mayor!
My league has been sticking to ESPN for the last 6 years, and we've been pretty rooted here. However, they have updated the UI and recently it's been too slow and buggy. Will it be too painful to move to Fantrax? Does it also have push notifications app?
Thanks.
