Rosters - Position eligibility requests 2024-25

Position eligibility requests for the 2024-25 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

    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.

  • Charles commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Douglas Barclay commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Chuck Vegas commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Daniel Festa commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Jarno Mäkilä commented  ·   ·  Report

    Cole Perfetti is a LW.

    https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/winnipeg-jets/line-combinations

    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

    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...

  • Mark Renton commented  ·   ·  Report

    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…)

  • Sebastian Rasimus commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Matt Rossi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Paul Cotter is LW all season, Please update.

  • Noah S commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo Fantasy Baseball has a position eligibility count down. This should be possible for hockey as well. How? Each game starts by showing the starting lineup on TV. They show the lines for both teams when the game starts. Use that. Each game the player starts at the position counts as 1. Better yet, Yahoo already tracks the current position of players and shows that to us in the depth chart on player list (research stat). Where is that data coming from? Use that! When the player gets to 5 games started at a position then add that position to the player's eligibility.
    Please copy the position eligibility count down page from fantasy baseball so we don't need to request from anybody to change position eligibility.
