Also, I don't think we can assume that it is evenly distributed among positions because, with fewer righties, they tend to end up as RW and R-Ds

Fair. And yeah, I don't think we can make the assumption either but there's no tidy dataset to use to quickly analyze this.
People will complain about it too. For example, Treliving acquired Lindholm. Peters used Lindholm as a RW and Sutter used Lindholm as a C. So, did we have a RH C the whole time, none of the time, or part of the time? If coaching decisions trump management decisions then it becomes difficult to evaluate the goals of management.
Jackets used Laine at C at one point. Does that mean Laine is a C for the purposes of this exercise?
