When will they get to Eric Staal.....

I just had a look his game log (I don't see the games) and it only seems recently that he's playing more wing (FOW stats). Of course, it's a crapshoot trying to figure out to whom Yahoo will give additional eligibility. Just an observation, not that I expect them to really pay attention to their actual positions. Unfortunately, Yahoo is not transparent on the criteria so hard to know who will be next.

Still waiting for Boone Jenner, winner of 10 faceoffs all year, to get W eligibility...

It's the Yahoo Wheel of Eligibility! Where will the next one land?

If I remember right, he started in the wing with Rask and Lindholm, then shifted to center with McGinn and don't remember who and now got back to the wing with Rask again and Versteeg. But you're right, yahoo eleigibity update process seems to not be logival at all.

That's a joke. There are plenty of others that are incorrect since the start of the season and they update Havlat?!

LOL. Typical Yahoo.

Wonder if/when Larkin will get wing eligibility. Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think he's played much C with zetterberg, mainly RW. with datsyuk coming back too assumign he sticks on that line I don't see any way Larkin slots in at C.

he doesn't play with Zetterberg anymore

Fact checking yourself is generally good practice. 69% of his ES shifts with Zetterberg and Abdelkader in the last 3 games, 74.55% in his last game, and he practiced on a line with Zetterberg and Datsyuk earlier this week with Abdelkader bumped to the third line.

you mean like you fact-checking that Hornqvist wasn't on the third line for all of last night's game?

the fact is Larkin has also played C quite a bit this year. He was centring Tatar and some other scrub for a while

anyways it probably doesn't matter since nobody should really own Larkin in a one year league

[bondon]

Sorry, forgot to mention the 3.17% of Hornqvist's shifts that he was with Crosby and Dupuis. What is that, one shift?

Larkin has played quite a bit of C, but more than 50% of his shifts have been with Zetterberg and Abdelkader. Which he's obviously not playing C on.

And it actually does matter because my league has a rookie rule where you have to have one rookie on your team at all times.

But i mean hey, if you wanna keep talking out your ass be my guest.

Keep being snarky for no reason. I was simply pointing out to you that he has played C quite a bit this year, so it's premature to give him wing status if you want Yahoo to actually be correct in their decisions. 50% of shifts at wing isn't enough to get wing status yet. #FactCheck
