Laine_MacKinnon

Yahoo has released its 2017-18 fantasy hockey game, and there are some notable position eligibility changes.
Of the 158 forwards in NHL.com's top 250, 21 had at least one position altered. The most significant player to lose a position is Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets (lost LW; now RW only), and the most significant player to gain a position is Artemi Panarin of the Columbus Blue Jackets (gained C; now C/LW eligible).
