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

    Brandon Hagel was given RW eligibility by Yahoo on 8/17, but does not reflect that in public leagues. It says this on his player card. Please update.

    - Byfield has been Kopitar's LW since January (come on, half a season plus this pre-season...)
    - Zegras is now also LW
    - Samoskevich has been LW all preseason long and that's where he'll start with the Panthers

    Requesting Kevin Fiala to be given RW/LW status. He’s played both wings in pre season and last year

  • Daniel Festa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Arturri lehkonen switches between lw and rw on colorado’s second line with Valeri Nichushkin (who is lw/rw on fantasy).

    Arturri lehkonen to receive rw eligibility.

  • Daniel Festa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Chandler Stephenson has played RW on various occasions and was eligible to play C,LW,RW last year on yahoo. Stephen to get RW added.

  • Daniel Festa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Buchnevich has played LW and RW in the past and also has LW/RW eligibility on Fantrax

  • Barry Rennie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Let’s get it corrected please the season is about to start. Thanks

  • Adrian Iovan commented  ·   ·  Report

    The position eligibility should be updated by yourselves instead of putting it in the hands of commissioners.

    Luckily I’m in a group of good people, but I can easily see that being problematic in leagues with shady commissioners.

    It’s not even a bandaid solution if it can potentially cause more harm than good and IMO quite lazy in comparison to other fantasy platforms.

  • Adrian Iovan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Tavares is C/LW on Fantrax and has played LW for the Leafs in the past
    Ehlers has played LW and RW for the Jets and has LW/RW eligibility on Fantrax
    Buchnevich has played LW and RW in the past and also has LW/RW eligibility on Fantrax
    Monahan is being utilized on 1st line RW in Montreal and 1st PP C. so should receive RW eligibility

  • Gregory N Foster commented  ·   ·  Report

    Gabriel Vilardi on Winnipeg should be a C,RW as he's played the majority of his career on the wing including last season. Right now he is just listed as a C.

  • Scott GRIFFITH commented  ·   ·  Report

    Leafs have put W. Nylander at Center for the foreseeable future
