Rosters - Position eligibility requests 2025-26
Position eligibility requests for the 2025-26 season.
We will continue evaluating players for new positions going forward and make updates where appropriate.
Full list of updated players for the 25/26 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 who 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

Guys barzel literally been playing centre for 90 percent of games if you watched a game. that might change with bo horvat thier but for now he dosent line up like point at rw for the whole game. And be ready to wait for them to change point literally hasn’t lined up at centre for weeks unless the refs waive off stamkos out of the circle and yahoo still hasn’t updated his position

Brayden Point should be a C/RW as morning puck has had him labeled as RW for a while now. Thanks

Brayden Point should most definitely receive C/RW status. He’s been playing RW for several games now. We’re all missing out on a crucial C position on our roster when we could be appointing Point to a RW position on our lineups. Please please please take this into consideration!

It’s important that we change position eligibility as players change position especially with money on the line go watch tampas last few games point is starting and ending games on rw barely taking 1 face off why is Steven stamkos centre\left wing and taking face offs and points is playing right wing and he’s slated as a centre only. https://themorningpuck.com/line-combinations/tampa-bay-lightning

Hintz takes far fewer faceoffs per game than T. Thompson and even his own linemat Pavelski (both have RW), meaning that he is also lining up RW more often than those two.

Since Brayden points is playing wing can we make him a winger also

Jared McCann has been playing RW on Seattle’s second line with Wennberg being the C and Donato being the LW.

Roope Hintz C,RW! The stats support this as he has taken approx. 6 faceoffs per game this year, Thompson has RW eligiblity and takes approx. 12 faceoffs per game this season. Pavelski is on Hintz' line, has RW eligiblity and takes approx 8 faceoffs per game! (they switch C and RW throughout every game)
Also Evander Kane, LW, RW
