My team has a lot of the same issues -- we can count on 3 defensemen, but getting that 4th guy is tough and we're usually just short of two forward lines. I'm usually the first guy in line to move back to defense if we're desperate, but I honestly kind of suck at it so it's not a good sign if we're in that position at the start of a game.
Basically it's a matter of finding guys who are going to show up every game and are committed to playing their positions. Once you have 10 reliable players (6F, 4D) things get a whole lot easier. It took us a couple of seasons to get that far and then took a step backward when guys moved on.
