Hockey Leagues Minor League Draft
- Minor League Draft will take place during the first 3-rounds of the yearly startup or free-agent draft.
- Players with GREEN ‘M’ (Minors Eligible) are the ONLY players available for the Minor League Draft (first three rounds of the draft). Any owner who makes an illegal pick will be given (1) mulligan and allowed to swap the player out. If you time out and the system auto-picks an illegal player, you will be allowed to re-make your selection at the end of the 3rd round. A DSE admin will pause the draft and swap out the player before the 4th round begins.
- Players drafted in the Minor League Draft will accumulate credits for your team as they would in the previous Amateur Draft (read below for credit information)
- Round 4 starts the Free Agent portion of the draft following the 3-round Minor League Draft.
- Players previously made unavailable as N/A will NOW be eligible in your Minor League or Free Agent draft.
- Players who previously were added to the database during the season will now only be available starting each new offseason, Minor League, or Free Agent draft once the database is unlocked.
- No NEW players will enter the database unannounced or randomly selected by our host site, Fantrax.com.
- Each roster will be given three additional Minor League slots yearly to accommodate Minor League Draft selections.
- For startup leagues, the reverse order of the Free Agent draft will be used for the Minor League draft in Year 1 only.
- Said player will earn you a credit toward your following off-season drop total.
- EXAMPLE: Each year, you can keep 25 players IN ADDITION to any credits you have accumulated.
- If you have 2 credit players on your roster at the end of the season, you keep 27 players (25+2=27).
- If you have 8 credit players on your roster at the end of the season, you keep 33 players (25+8=33).
- EXAMPLE: Each year, you can keep 25 players IN ADDITION to any credits you have accumulated.
- Players taken in the Minors-Eligibile draft rounds earn you immediate credits; however, once traded, those players lose that credit until they become a 3-year tenured player for the receiving team.
Hockey League Free Agent Draft
- The Free Agent Draft order will be the same throughout the entire draft for existing leagues. Start-up Dynasty Leagues use a serpentine or snake draft for their first year.
- Most Non-Playoff teams will have their position determined by order of finish in the postseason Draft Bracket.
- Draft Order Change: Most teams that do not make the playoffs will play in a consolation bracket to determine the Draft Order for the following season. The team with the worst record gets the 1 seed. The following seeds get the next lowest bracket slot. Reseeding will occur each round until a winner is determined. Refer to the Draft Bracket rules section for the league-by-league outline.
- The free-agent draft clock is 2 hours per pick. The Draft clock is on from 10 am EST to 12 am EST daily until the draft is completed.
- If you miss a Free Agent draft selection, the system will make a selection based on your queue first, then by ADP for the current season.
- Once your team hits the DRAFT ROSTER CAP (league cap plus 5 additional off-season slots), your draft is OVER! If you trade for additional players and/or picks, you will not be given additional draft slots.
Hockey League Post Draft
- You will be required to cut your roster down if you are over the league-designated maximum. This will be done by a predetermined date set by the League Commissioner, which usually is one week before opening day.

- All Free Agent claims will be locked at noon ET during the first Monday of the fantasy postseason.
- Any Waiver claim made before the noon ET cut-off that is processed by the system on either Tuesday at 9:00 am ET or Wednesday at 9:00 am ET will be reversed by the commissioner.

- Rosters will be set to the league max for your specific league. Any excess players will need to be dropped if you are to avoid any illegal roster scenarios.
Hockey League Minors Eligibility Enforcement
- Any player with less than 25 games played will be eligible to stay on your Minor League Roster. Fantrax will update the status of your players every day, and you will be notified on your league team page once a player has created an illegal roster for you based on their current NHL status. Players may NOT remain in your Minors if they have exceeded 25 games.

Hockey League Offseason
- The number of cuts for each team is different due to the number of Minor League credits kept on your roster, PLUS any 3+ year tenured players.
- A CUT DATE/TIME will be posted in your Slack league chat room after the final payment for your league is paid in full. Failure to make the necessary cuts by the CUT DATE/TIME will result in a LOSS of $25 FAAB per day.
- A MAX ROSTER CUT DATE/TIME will be posted in the main Basketball chat room. Failure to get your roster at, or under, the MAX ROSTER LIMIT by the posted DATE/TIME will result in a LOSS of $100 FAAB per day.

Dynasty Sports Empire reserves the right to manage and maintain the integrity and longevity of its leagues by issuing judgments made by the Dynasty Sports Empire Administrative team. League changes, rulings, and outcomes may be overturned at any time if the Administration does not believe the said outcome was in the best interest of the league. Administration voting occurs and decides the outcome of any scenario that may be deemed inappropriate or not in the league’s best interest. Dynasty Sports Empire reserves the right to change, alter, or amend any league guideline.
Fair Play and Conduct
While fantasy sports is usually an extremely competitive endeavor, it is important to remember that enjoyment of the game is predicated on a certain level of sportsmanship displayed by the participants. Occasionally, some team owners intentionally or unknowingly cross the line.
PRIZE-ELIGIBLE & SPORTSMANSHIP RULES
A: More than one team in the same league
One person can’t control more than one team in the same league. If two or more teams in the same league are under the same account, they must be controlled by different people sharing that account, but not sharing the teams. Violation of this will lead to the cancellation of the teams and expulsion from the game.
If an owner finds himself in this situation by accident, he/she should e-mail the League Office immediately and explain the situation.
B: Collusive transactions
Collusion occurs when one team makes moves to benefit another team, without trying to improve its own position. One-sided trades are an obvious example of this. Another example is when a player drop is made so another team can pick up that player. Teams found in violation of this policy will be canceled and their owners prohibited from participating in future Fantasy Games.
C: Impeding other owners
Certain transactions made solely to impede other owners are not allowed. Tanking games for the sole purpose of denying another player’s chance to make the playoffs is against the rules. In particular, cycling through players in free agency to put them on waivers and make them unavailable to other teams in your league is strictly prohibited and is grounds for expulsion from the game.
D: Roster Dumping
Owners that are found to have dumped their players to the player pool in an attempt to undermine the league may be subject to expulsion from the game. If you are giving up on the season, we ask that you maintain league strength by providing the other owners with the most competitive team you are able to field.
E: Owner interaction
Owners should always be polite and gracious when dealing with one another. Threats and obscenities are not only against the Rules, they are illegal in many jurisdictions. Owners that are found to have sent a threatening email to another owner will be warned and/or kicked out of the game completely. This extends to message board posts as well.
F: Offensive posts
Any posts of a derogatory nature are strictly prohibited, whether it is in a chat room, message board, or on a league’s bulletin board. This includes personal attacks and sexist or racist remarks. There will be a zero-tolerance level – if someone in your league is violating this policy, please contact the League Office.
G: Inactivity
In order to maintain the integrity of the league, the commissioner may contact owners of teams that remain inactive for extended periods of time. The commissioner will send a notification to the email of record. Shortly thereafter, if the team remains inactive, the commissioner reserves the right to reassign ownership of the inactive team.
H: Daily Lineups
Deliberately choosing to start incomplete or weak lineups (a.k.a. tanking) is classified as unsportsmanlike and is grounds for removal from a league.
I: Free Agent Moves
Free-agent moves for reasons other than the improvement of the owner’s fantasy team are classified as unsportsmanlike and will be reversed by the league commissioner. Repeated violations of unsportsmanlike free agent moves will result in the owners’ removal from the league.
If an owner refuses to comply with the sportsmanship rules, or that an owner has acted in an unsportsmanlike manner, Dynasty Sports Empire reserves the right to disqualify the owner and/or remove that owner from the league without a refund. All decisions by Dynasty Sports Empire will be final.
REMEMBER:
