Since players rarely fit into a neat compartment, giving them a label can just confuse things.

If you'd like to sort by multiple skills then obviously the game should do that and will, I was suggesting to add another category for a streamlined search. Just from my experience with EHM, there were tons of skill categories and at times I thought it was unclear what to look for.
For example, if you needed a penalty killer you might look for someone with high positioning and/or checking (and another category too), but it would be unclear if you'd want someone who's slightly above average in both skills, or very high in just one. In the end you might have this huge list that's not very pleasant to sort through.
Just as a comparison, OOTP allows you to search for either "starting pitchers", "middle relievers" or "closers" which is convenient, although you're obviously not obligated to put them in those roles.
