Option 2:

Squidwardo Tentacles would switch from Left Wing to Left Defense if he could change his position. This was already suggested by Squidwardo this season but due to the amount of players graduating from the Malamutes they needed Tentacles up front and not on the back end. Tentacles is already a solid two way forward who likes to hit and back check which would translate well to defense. As a winger who can't really take a slap shot and has a weaker wrister compared to other forwards, playing defense and dishing the puck as a puck moving defender would be a fun choice. He probably wouldn't be able to throw the body as much as he does on wing though, as he wouldn't want to put his defensive partner into bad positions. On wing it doesn't matter as much, but throwing a ton of hits could leave to multiple odd man rushes and could screw over the team in the long run.
