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.

Totally fair.
Personally, I wouldn't be offended if old positions were grandfathered in for a season - but only if the rule change caused major problems for anyone.
