If I was a team that ended up short on a position after locking down my roster, I'd be pretty peeved.
If it is a problem, the easiest solution is to grandfather positions in for a season.

The honest answer is because we hadn't really thought about it. It didn't really occur to me until looking at the ratings package and seeing how they dealt with positions - and that's when it struck us that there was probably a better way that would give GMs far better flexibility.
I've struggled with the old way where if a player was a RW he could only play RW in any given game. Really why can't a guy play RW on the powerplay but Centre on PK if that's what he does in real life.
So that's really it. It wasn't something we were holding back on. Basically once we identified the opportunity, we announced it pretty much immediately. The other commissioners can confirm.
