I noticed last year in our inaugural season that there were some duplicated players. Most notably Erik Gustafsson D CHI and a Erik Gustafsson D FA. We just thought it was a glitch and we warned each other about it during our draft. Fast forward one year. We are now conducting a 3 round prospects draft and the PROBLEM IS WORSE. Numerous duplicates. Nick Robertson, Alex Turcotte, etc. We have reached out to Fleaflicker via twitter and got a response of: "We are looking into this sorry". Seriously!! Is anyone else running into this issue?
I notified Fleaflicker a few months ago about this problem. Philip Tomasino is another example. It can happen with prospects who get put into the system as FA after being drafted and then sign their entry contract and get put with a team. So Alex Turcotte FA and Alex Turcotte LA both exist in the database as of now.
Duplicate entries can also occur in other situations such as after trades so the players have both the old and new team.
A simple database check for duplicate names could prevent all of this. However FleaFlicker refuses to do it.

I think Fleaflicker has made some progress on the duplicates issue.
As of December 17th, Turcotte, Tomasino and Robertson no longer have multiple records. They just have one entry each.
Unfortunately there's still two records for Erik Gustafsson (CHI and FA).
So some improvements but it's not completely fixed as of yet.
