Rosters - Position eligibility requests 2023-24
Position eligibility requests for the 2023-24 season.
We will continue evaluating players for new positions going forward and make updates where appropriate.
Full list of updated players for the 23/24 season: https://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/playerchanges?type=pos
As of 10/4/23, we added the option for Commissioners to award position eligibility to players that haven't earned it by Yahoo Fantasy's standards yet. Keep in mind, this tool will only allow commissioners to add positions, not edit or remove them and you won't be able to assign Forwards or Defensemen with Goalie eligibility and vice versa. Commissioners can add new positions using the steps here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/position-eligibility-fantasy-hockey-sln7057.html

Trevor Moore is supposed to also have RW. Yahoo even stated it on 8/17 but was never updated. Please take a look and update.

Kurashev needs Lw or RW eligibility, hes not playing center

Lourenço Cabral commented
Cole Perfetti has always played winger in his professional career, bar the first two games of this season, and he has played the last 15 consecutive games at LW, yet still only has the Center position eligibility.

Can you guys add RW for Martin Pospisil on CGY please? That's the position he has been playing since coming up. Thank you 🙏

Tero Sinijärvi commented
Can you please update player position? There are a few players who hasn’t played a single game as a center but has only center eligibility. For example Zegras and Zary.

Fantilli playing RW vs Flyers…only listed as a C. What’s the threshold for gaining eligibility? Perfetti also playing LW. Zegras as well. Why are they locked as C?
Please get better with updating. It really hurts the game.

Just stopping by to ask Yahoo to take a look at Perfetti, Ehlers, and Zegras.
Seems like Perfetti and Zegras are predominantly LW, and Ehlers is a RW. Fwiw, these changes would help their roster percentages without making them OP.
Much thanks.

Brady Tkachuk takes enough faceoffs to be eligible for Center.

Calle Jarnkrok (TOR) C/LW. Has been playing RW this year. Jarnkrok had full yahoo eligibility last year as well.

Jarvis plays lw on the first line. He should have lw added

Cole Perfetti is a LW.

Cole Perfetti played whole last season as a winger, yet as season started he was listed on Yahoo as center. He played couple of games at center and then moved back to winger, so he should never have been just a C.
In Fantrax example Perfetti is having LW/RW.
Please add the winger eligibity to Perfetti as this is clearly wrong and in our league commissioner is not adding own positions unfortunately so we need to use the defeault settings.

Erik Haula needs to be changed to a C/LW not just straight LW

Hello. The new Fantasy Hockey feature mentioned from "10/4/23, we added the option for Commissioners to award position eligibility" does not seem to be working yet, per our league commissioner. Was there an issue / bug with the rollout of this feature? If so, was this announced anywhere that there was an issue? The "Custom Position Eligibility" link / button, under the "Rosters & Scoring" tab cannot be located in the screen.
There are obviously a large number of position eligibility changes being requested by Fantasy Hockey users, and this is an important feature for users to manage their rosters and leagues.
What is Yahoo suggesting as a temporary solution to this while we wait for the Self-Assign feature to be rolled out correctly? Is there another support channel, with additional resources that can be added in the meantime, to field and action these requests?
-Thanks

Tyler Toffoli should get LW added!

Mark Renton commented
Petterson is purely a C. Just because he doesn't take the FO on the PP doesn't make him a winger. Same goes for Point, he's taken close to 90 FO, Barre-Boulet has taken fewer than 10...
Don't waste the admin's time with these highly personalized requests...

Please add LW for Trevor Zegras, he’s played most games this season as LW. (For example, he’s played 3x the amount of games at LW than Laine has played at C…)

Erik Haula is playing mostly center. Should be eligble for both LW & C.
