Option 2:

Almost exactly opposite of how I initially planned it I build another pretty physical player who is strong on their feet and ready to land some hits. While Jani Mänty certainly lacks in his defensive side I think he could do well enough as either offensive defenseman or maybe as some kind of agitator. At least he should be better as defenseman than he would be as goalie for which I have hard time figuring whats strenghts he could have for that position.

Only thing going for the switch to goalie would be the fact that I haven't had one yet but I do think that league in its current state isn't in great spot for goalies with inflated scoring we have seen in past few seasons, which is also why moving to defenseman really isn't as tempting either, because I already had pretty defensive defenseman so I know how it feels when you aren't scoring that many points, not that Mänty's rookie season has done anything to fix that
