^Actually that's not true. Players can gain position eligibility but they will never lose eligibility.
And yeah there really should be minimum goalie games. 3 is the standard amount.
You are right, I doublechecked their rules regarding position changes: I must have been misremembering. I'm deleting anything misleading in my previous post.
For anyone interested, here is Yahoo's general take on position listings from somebody on a forum that wrote them about neglecting a position addition to Jeff Skinner last year:
"I wrote about Skinner, who is a LW listed as a RW.
Here is what they said:
Hello, Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. I appreciate your inquiry about player position eligibility. Players may be eligible at multiple positions during the current Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Hockey season. Initial position eligibility was determined based on past participation and information supplied by the teams during the off-season: * All position eligibility requests are reviewed, compiled, and forwarded to our data provider who makes the final decision on position eligibility. * Because Yahoo! is not responsible for modifying position eligibility, we cannot speculate on future changes or comment on the decisions made regarding each individual player. *
There are no set criteria for position eligibility like minimum numberof games, minutes, etc. at a new position. A new position will be added when our data provider determines that a player's primary position has changed.* Players will never lose position eligibility which means they can playat either their old or new positions for the remainder of the season. We appreciate your feedback. If you have other or questions, please reply. Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. Regards, Benjamin Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Customer Care"
