Written Option 2: If Kristians Mikelis was forced to change positions from left defense, he would probably choose to be a left wing. Mikelis already plays on the left side, with a left-handed shot. I feel this suits him well, and with his offensive skillset, I feel a transition up to the wing would be a smooth one. Mikelis has high ratings in passing and puck handling as well as good agility and physical traits. I believe this would lead to Mikelis being a good speedy forward or dangler. This season, in the SMJHL, Mikelis leads the Maine Timber defense core in goals and is second in assists from defensemen. When it comes to powerplay goals, Mikelis has four while only one other defenseman has any, and they only have one. As a forward, I could easily see Mikelis blossom into a goal scoring specialist. I am personally way too attached to defensemen, to convert Mikelis to a forward, but when I decide to recreate, if I choose a forward, I will definitely take inspiration from Mikelis when building them.
