Rank drop candidates purely by actual league fantasy points (season total and per game), not by stats like shots.

Waiver adds must maximize starter games played over the rest of the matchup week so the owner doesn't trail the opponent in remaining games. Rank add candidates by games remaining that fill empty lineup slots first, then by per-game fantasy points, and flag any games-left deficit in every daily report.

In ESPN leagues, a player added before any of that day's NHL games have started counts in that day's games; adds made after games have started take effect the next day.

A player on IR can't be dropped to make room for an active add; only active or bench players count as drops.

If the league locks lineups per game, each player locks at his own game's start time.

Goalie back-to-back rule: the fatigue check applies to the goalie, not the team. A team on a back-to-back often starts its backup, who is rested, so look up who started the night before. Backup quality still has to pass the goalie-quality check.

Every goalie projection should be an expected value that builds in loss scenarios, not a best case, with a range and the probability of going negative (for example: expected 1.5, range -6 to +9, 35% chance negative). Inflated projections drive bad streaming decisions.

An empty G slot is the default. Daily reports still list the top 3 free-agent goalie streams for reference, but recommend a stream only when it passes every goalie check (team is a 55%+ favorite, 2+ seasons of solid save percentage, goalie not fatigued) and the matchup situation warrants it; otherwise say no stream.

Each daily report grades the previous day's top-3 goalie stream predictions (predicted score and fantasy points) against actual results and keeps a running hit rate.

Make roster moves only when the owner approves each specific move in chat, and make exactly the approved moves. There is no standing lineup approval unless the owner grants one.

The ESPN fantasy league is read through ESPN's public read feed and the owner's signed-in browser session on the box; there is no ESPN connector. Roster moves are made through the box browser.
