I don't get it. Like you said his faceoffs suck and he has poor defensive stats so if you put him in either position he wouldn't be as effective. Why does it matter what his overall rating is when the result is the same? The overall number is just the average of all of the stats. So a 90 overall defenseman will be better at defense than a 90 overall forward because of their defensive stats. I just don't see any reason for the overall numbers to change based on position.
