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

Martin Necas has 20 faceoff wins in 6 games played. He was C, RW last season and should be again.

Martin Necas
Recommendation: change from RW to C/RW
NHL.com and the Carolina Hurricanes official site list him as C, and he is currently alternating between C and RW during games. He has taken several faceoffs each game (including one game where he took 10).

Please add RW eligibility to Claude Giroux. He’s been playing RW since his trade to Florida Panthers. Both nhl.com and daily faceoff confirm he is RW.

Malkin needs to be classified as a winger, not a center.

When is Elias pettersson getting C, W? He goes back and forth from wing to center yet you have him just as center. ESPN app has it correct. Come on yahoo

Elias Pettersson is currently playing on the Left Wing and he should have his position updated to C, LW as he is not a strictly Center anymore. Everyone is waiting on this.
