It has happened but it’s so so so rare for a F or a D to be successful playing a different position. These guys have been playing their positions their entire lives. Most of the time other positions are completely foreign and they’d be totally lost.

It’s silly to suggest it.

Edit: referring to putting a D to F or vice versa in 5v5 play. Power play is a different story.
