Also, this is in the Consititution about Switching Positions:

Switching players positions in the off season:
If a player's position in the CFHL is different than his official position listed on NHL.com the GM(s) who own said player may choose to change his position during the off season with certain restrictions.

1) Player positions can only be changed during the time period after the deadline for submitting the 11 player protected list and before the first pick in the entry draft. (when your roster is only 11 players)

2) If only one GM owns said player he has the option to either keep him in his current position or change him to the official position listed on NHL.com. A change position request must be submitted before the first pick in the Entry Draft. If a player is changed position in this manner the position of the second free agent player (A or B) will also be changed to match that of the protected player.

3) if two GMs own said player, and said player is listed in two positions in the CFHL (example: Player A is LW but Player B is C). And one of the players is positioned correctly according to NHL.com, the owner of the incorrectly positioned player has the option to switch his player's position or keep him in his current position. The GM of the correctly positioned player has no say in this decision and CANNOT change his player's position to match that of the incorrectly positioned player. Should both CFHL players be listed at different positions, and the position listed on NHL.com be a third position (example: Player A is LW, Player B is C but said player is listed as RW on NHL.com) Both GMs have the option of either switching said player's position or keeping him in his current position. These moves are independent of each other and the decision of either GM does not affect the decision of the other.

4) If two GMs own said player, and both CFHL player A and B are listed in the same position. BOTH GMs MUST AGREE to move said player to his official position as listed on NHL.com. Under no circumstances will one player be allowed to move and not the other, creating a CFHL player listed in two different positions . Should one GM not wish to move his player's position the second GM will not be allowed to switch his player either.

Once the first pick at the Entry Draft has been chosen all CFHL protected player positions will be locked in for the remainder of the season.
