This is a reminder that Defensemen will be using positions starting this year.
There are a number of reasons for this:
1. In the NHL it is very clear that defensemen who play outside of their preferred position generally see a performance drop. That should be reflected in our game.
2. Encourage teams to make trades if they want to make most effective use of their d-corp, just like in the NHL.
3. Add some nuance to team-building. You can't simply collect a bunch of D to play on your blue line. You need to give some additional thought to drafting and trading for that position.
This change may require some adjustments to fatigue and player positioning allowances/penalties. I'm still assessing that.
