Written Option 2:

The most obvious answer here would be to change my player, Daniel Grumathan, to any other forward position but I actually think he would probably excel more so at defenseman if he was to switch positions than say center as he would have to learn faceoffs, something he has never done in his life ever. Grumathan is a pretty bad defender as is right now so he would probably need some shutdown defender as his mate, but he'd do well in an offensive defenseman role taking control of the puck and operating offensive plays from the back. Grumathan has always been a bit more of a playmaker than goal-scorer so I think the transition wouldn't be too bad. He already has a very physical style of play that would be equally as valuable on the defensive end. The main concerns would be his lack of stamina and he would need some major lessons in defensive positioning. I also personally like the role of a defenseman. A more defensive and supportive role was always what I played irl and I feel like they go underappreciated.
