Written Option 2:

If Ryosuke Sato is to change positions (or better yet at this point recreate ), Sato would switch to a center. In particular, Sato would be a two-way forward in a sense that he can win big faceoffs but also play both ends of the ice well. Ryosuke Sato currently is already a defenseman so his defensive play would really lean into the hardworking, grinder kind of role that a two-way center would have, but the offensive side would need some work for sure. As for living out the dream, Ryosuke Sato always wanted to play the full 200 ft of the ice and he at some point was able to play that way, but it is a little different being a two-way forward and a two-way defenseman. As a two-way forward, Sato would be able to be the guy offensively while being a strong asset defensively. This is not to mention the key part which is the faceoff taking.
