One of the fantasy NHL leagues I joined on ESPN is now saying I’m not a member.

This was a very deep league and so I had to put a lot more time and effort into the draft than I usually would do. This wasn’t a money league and I"m part of some other leagues, so it isn’t then end of the world. Still, I wonder what happened?

1. Commissioner just decided he didn’t want to run a league and shut it down with no notice?

2. Commissioner contracted the league to get more players available as free agents?

3. I wasn’t active enough? I updated my team and responded to and voted on all trade requests. However, I can’t access fantasy sports at work and I work ten hour days. So, a trade request in the morning won’t get looked at until later at night. I live in Arizona, so I can’t respond until very late East Coast time.

I’m not going to send a mass email as I already get enough of them for all the leagues I"m in and I’m sure other people do as well. I thought this would have been an interesting league to play out through a long NHL season. The waiver wires were very thin so you couldn’t just drop a player after a few bad games.
