I have had this player for 3 seasons in Utopia and he has performed admirably even out of position considering his skillset.

So I don't think some 1v1 is necessarily a problem (to keep the shot count down), as long as IS and JS are kept under control for salary and cap purposes. Training both OD and PA with negative elastic effect would really be a pain.
