Option 2:

If Cale wasn’t a forward he would have absolutely been a big right handed Defenseman. Why? Because every team needs one! Not only that but learning to play your off side as a D man Cale would be able to be D partner with none other then Nathaniel Barca. Cale has always been more of a playmaker and a two way forward so it wouldn’t be much of a transition really to swap to a two way defenseman and in some cases would even benefit him more because the knows where and when positionally the forwards should be. It would be a relatively easy transition to move from the forward position to the defensive one. The biggest challenge would be working on skating backwards. Of course when you are at this level you will absolutely be able to do it but working on the ability to be a quicker backwards skater and having that agility would be a key to having success back there.
