Hey GM's...
In case you didn't see it, I proposed on Yahoo boards, to change the league setting so that Roster moves take affect right away (instead of the following day).
Be sure to check out the thread in Yahoo, and go vote: Change the "Weekly Deadline" setting ?
Our league’s setting has the default deadline to make all transactions (trades, waiver claims, and free agent pick-ups) for the following day is 11:59pm PT each night. All transactions will then be reflected in your lineup for the following day. So, if you add a player to your roster on Wednesday morning at 6:00 am PT, he will be available to your team on Thursday.
In my other leagues, we have it set so that FA pickups made are reflective right away, so you can add them to your starting roster right away (as long as puck drop hasn’t happened). This way, you can pick up a FA (or send someone from your farm up), should someone been announced last minute as IR/Scratch/Day-to-Day.
I’m proposing we change this setting in our league.
According to Yahoo League Manager settings: hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/details/weekly_deadline/
Custom League commissioners may choose to change it so that all transactions take effect on the day they are made.
If you choose to configure your league to allow transactions to take effect on the day they are made, you will be able to add free agents to your roster for the current day so long as all transactions are completed no later than five minutes before the start of each player's game. None of the players involved in a move can have played or be within five minutes of their game's start time, or the transaction will not be allowed. So, for example, transactions for all players who play at 4:30 pm PT must be completed by 4:25 pm PT.
