Well the Bible is now out and the Highlanders are in the midst of list making - an alchemy-like process whereby FunHL GMs try and turn the lead of an 8th round selection in September into hockey-pool gold by March.
The release of the Bible is also the chance to see who has gone where - not in terms of NHL teams (that information can be found anywhere) - but what the "Official" positions will be for players during the coming season. While I did not note anything so dramatic as the one year that M.Czerkawski, the Polish prince, found himself listed as a defenseman?!? there were some interesting exchanges: M.Havlat and B.Shanahan are now RWs, P.Demitra and M.Parrish are now LWs, K.Tkachuk is a C while R.Zednik is listed in the Bible in Florida's roster twice?! once as a LW and once as a RW.
Among FunHL GMs already holding the rights to players, most of the switches seem to be to the left wing.
The Shadowmen see newly acquired rfa T.Ruutu move to LW.
The Knights Templar see prospect sensation A.Radulov move to LW.
The Ramapithicines have R.Nilsson and J.Lupul both move to LW (though R.J.Umberger moves to RW).
The Bladerunners have J.Staal and A.Kaigorodov shift to RW (while L.Eriksson goes to RW).
The Highlanders have I.Grigorenko begin his NHL career as a LWer while potential line-mate, J.Hudler, is shifted to RW.
The Great Whites see two former Highlanders change position: P.Kessel is now a LWer while J.Carter is now a C.
The Wolves have a mixed bag with M.Comrie becoming a C, G.Brule becoming a RWer and R.Vrbata moving to LW.
The most movement happened on the Lost Boys' roster as A.Kotalik, A.Brunette move to RW, giving them 5 rfa RWers on their pre-draft roster, while on the prospect list A.Vermette and C.Bourque become LWers.
Happy list-making everyone - less than a month to go!

Does this mean Zednik can be drafted at either wing by whomever drafts him?
Good question - though probably moot given his point totals and anticipated point totals.
