Exactly. Had I know I'd be backing up another goalie for my first two seasons of SMJHL, spending max time in SMJHL, then probably backing up a goalie for the first three or four seasons at least in the SHL, I would've made a forward. But now I've sunk a season's worth of work and ~$15m toward TPE for my goalie, so I don't just want to retire and recreate.

Yeah. My overall rules suggestion would be to give a once per career position swap to goalies that have never played a single SHL game. If F & D can swap once in their career, why are goalies just stuck dealing with it.

QUICK EDIT: this rule would be similar to IIHF rules where players can do a one-time nation swap if they haven't played a game for their nation.
