after that debacle theyre gonna be gun shy adding positions id imagine so i wouldnt count on it. as such, i wouldnt draft a player expecting an additional position to pop up, consider it a bonus if it does happen
Under Yahoo's Positional change section on your leagues page, they don't have any updates after August 17th, however there was clearly an update after that date. So they are hiding their errors lol.

One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
I got this message on Friday afternoon - which implies they are not done yet…
Since hockey just opened we are still working with our data provider to provide the most accurate positions.

Anyone have heard any recent updates on whether they are still planning to add positions / fix existing ones or just leave it until after the season starts?
Can you set up positions as Centers and Wingers on Yahoo?

Thanks Horrorfan. I'm going to suggest to my league we go centers and wingers unless Yahoo fixes this mess.

I don’t really know the intricacies of your league. But I know for me this doesn’t really solve the problem. The main problem I currently see is the amount of wingers being labeled as pure Cs as it really skews the value especially counting FWs. For example Jordan Kyrou is a solid winger option but is currently labelled as C only and that drastically reduces his value.
You would need to go to go to just the F designation to solve that problem but that still causes an issue of inflating the value of anyone who takes face offs
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Do we think DeBrincat gets LW back? Didnt he play a ton of LW last year in Ottawa and its his preferred position?

I would think from some earlier feedback in this thread, that Yahoo is not done with their positional eligibility adjustments

Yeah, that's what my post from earlier today was asking about. I'd seen those comments from Yahoo so was just wondering if anyone had heard anything else more recently as an update. Especially regarding those that are clearly wrong.
I'm not on Twitter/X so if anyone has asked more recently (will ask), please share an update, thanks.
I do have Kyrou so this hurts but this is the only change that keeps me in the league. All my wingers have only RW (Meier, Svech, JT, and Toffoli) so Cs and Ws wouldn't hurt that much (we keep 2 RWs and 2 LWs). My only LWs right now are Deslauriers and Blais. I got lots of centers.

Honestly, Yahoo has generally been a clownshoes company the last few years, at least since Verizon bought them. They then sold most of it off to an equity firm, which may or may not help.
They seem to have gotten completely away from their core competencies in being a web portal and mail provider. Fantasy has been an issue there for a while for multiple sports.

In addition to those in contact with Yahoo on Twitter/X, here are a couple additional pages that refer to the issues. The uservoice page seems to be renewed from previous feedback as there are recent comments.
