Moving wingers to their opposite side isn't really playing them out of position. They are still playing their position, wing. Just like Brodie on the right side isn't playing him out of position. Some wingers prefer their off wing. Many posters don't seem to realize how commonplace it is for smart wingers to play their supposed off wing.

Not sure about wingers, but there's data out there that shows defensemen playing their off side generally leads to poorer results
