    A very accurate addition, but should be coupled with the center being taken away but we all know Yahoo doesn't take away.

    Quite right. That said, I have much less of a problem with a player having extra eligibility than I do a player not eligible for the position he plays. Especially considering some players will get position-eligibility back that was taken away this past offseason because someone at RotoWorld is just plain guessing where players will slot it.

    Oh ya, makes way more sense Thornton is a C,LW than Thornton a C.

    Having the extra C position for a player is the least impactful anyway. It's the deepest and will usually be the least needed.

    If Thornton is being played as a C and not LW, there is a market inefficiency somewhere on that person's roster.

    OF COURSE Yahoo would favor Thornton and Toronto! Dylan Cozens (zero time as Center, 2 FOW), Joe Thornton (zero time as Center, 4 FOW). But why would fairness be important?

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Pretty sure the line combinations is something like 9% on the ice for Cozens, Thornton is like 22% on even strength. Prolly something to do with it. I know the ice time for the last few games is similar, but starting a shift off a draw vs on the fly is prolly favouring Thornton over Cozens.

    I assumed it was just Leafs fans tweeting @YahooFantasyHelp (or whatever the account is) constantly complaining about it getting the ball rolling. Squeaky wheel gets the oil type of situation.

    Liam Foudy was the second change, gaining RW this morning. Of COURSE Yahoo favours the Columbus fans!

    I think it has to do with GP (that's their system in baseball). TOR has more GP than BUF, so it might just be another game or two that Cozens needs.

    I can't imagine Yahoo going into that much detail.
