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

    Colton Sissons RW
    plays on the right wing for a month. That's equivalent of 15 games based on their schedule

  • Jani Saarela commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hintz RW. Tage Thompson got it, no reason for Roope not to as well. I mean, what’s the difference between the two?

    Also, Brady Tkachuk C.

  • Adam Fucile commented  ·   ·  Report

    Roope Hintz - RW. He was this position last year and continues to play on the right. Considering the most recent updates, ie Tage who wins 3 to 5 more draws on average, Roope should have dual eligibility.

  • Nick Williams commented  ·   ·  Report

    All I’m asking is for is:
    1. Roope Hintz RW
    How is it possible for his line mate to have C/RW if Hintz is just C. Please fix
    2.Brady Tkachuk C, the guy plays C, no more explanation needed
    3. William Nylander C, I understand if this doesn’t get added
    4. Explanation as why Tage Thompson can get RW but not Roope Hintz

  • Jay Black commented  ·   ·  Report

    I echo the Nathan MacKinnon RW sentiments made by Puckhead.

  • puckhead commented  ·   ·  Report

    Nathan MacKinnon as RW, over the past 10 games he has consistently lined up as a RW during that span and at least 5% lines to the right of Rodrigues. A significant amount of Faceoffs he is on the wing and should be eligible as such

  • Mitch Robinson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Brady Tkachuk center eligibility just look at how many faceoffs he's taken.

  • Alex commented  ·   ·  Report

    Svechnikov should have RW status, for all the reasons previously outlined by others. It especially doesn’t make sense to keep him as LW-only when NHL.com identifies him as a RW

  • Thunder Ngo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I know all we do is complain on the feedback forum but thanks for the quick corrections on Hayes n Zegras

  • Kyle McDougall commented  ·   ·  Report

    Barzal C/RW, he plays it very often. Barely takes any Faceoff.

  • Taylor Collins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Brady Tkachuk C/LW and Svechnikov LW/RW

    Tkachuk is averaging 5 FW a game and is in the only LW in the top 25 for faceoff wins that doesn't
    have the C/LW.

    Svechnikov starts all powerplays on the right wing.

  • Matias Hakari commented  ·   ·  Report

    What’s the reason why Jack Hughes and Tage Thompson got their wing eligibilities, but Roope Hintz hasn’t gotten his? They all basically swift the same between C and RW positions (Hughes LW) Seems rather absurd.

    Btw Andrei Svechnikov plays often as well RW throughout the games, if you wanna check that one out.
