Quote:Written Option 2: What position other than your current position would your player choose to play if given an opportunity to change their position, and why? What about their playstyle lends itself to that position, or what about your personal hockey fandom would be better fulfilled by playing that position than the one you picked?

I think that if Jae-ik Barron was not a center, he would be a defenseman. This is because he is more of a defensive player that focuses on being responsible in his own end. Therefore it would be a pretty straightforward swap from C to D. There's the problem of being another D on a team that already has a future set for D but maybe in conjunction with Jae-ik's swap, maybe someone can make the swap from D to C. Perhaps Kristian Seppanen or Jim Wen or Paul Bondage.

It's an interesting idea for me because my last player, Adam Barron, who coincidentally was also my first player, was a defenseman. Therefore I will have had two defenders and no forwards in my SHL history, which doesn't really allow for a mix of experiences from one player to another. I technically played four junior seasons with goalie Noah Charlevoix, but my player was very bad at goaltending so I try not to think about that.

That said, there are worse positions to be than defender. It's a position that's very important to the success of the team, and defenders spend a lot of time on the ice. If you are good, you wind up helping your team out an awful lot. It's also cool to have a mix of offensive and defensive prowess, though I guess you could say that about a defensive centerman, which is already what Jae-ik is.
