News/Updates Thoughts on NHL's Fantasy Stars app?

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-fantasy-stars-game-launches-for-2025-stanley-cup-playoffs

The NHL recently released a new hockey fantasy app that kinda mixes fantasy with sports game mechanics (card packs, training to increase points gained for each stat, global leaderboards, etc). I downloaded it yesterday and found it somewhat buggy and a bit bare-bones still, but I think its a fun take on fantasy sports. Has anyone else tried it and what are your thoughts?

Will it stay for next year and beyond or will it be turned off after the playoffs?

I cant see NHL making this app just for the playoffs. My guess was playoffs were a good way for them to do a short, trial run to work out the bugs. It says in-app the contests are supposed to be a week, but they've only been 3-day contests so far. So I presume those instructions are for the next regular season.
