Quite a few d-men coverted to fwd (Buf). I always thought they should try Housely at centre.
Burns is the only guy I know who made a good transition the other way. A few goons have been used that way but I don't know why (McSorely).

You get more opportunities to hit people on D and it was good to have a tough guy stand in front of your goalie and hack guys down in they came close.
