It would be a lot more convenient (and realistic IMO) than filtering based on 5 ratings like in EHM.

Actually, I kind of feel opposite. While I agree hockey is not stat-based, it is skills-based. I want to know the skills my player brings to the table. From looking at those skills (offensive and defensive awareness, puck control, strength/balance, checking, speed, passing, shooting, etc) I'll decide his role. I don't need the game to tell me that. Since players rarely fit into a neat compartment, giving them a label can just confuse things.
