Option2

Dusty Rhodes would probably be a defender if he were to switch positions. Dusty is a big body who is very adept at moving other bodies around. As a defender he'd be able to help keep the opposing players from parking in front of the net and screening our goalie. He also loves to hit and knocking players off the puck with a huge hit would also be easier as a defender since he could see it coming and prepare the proper angle for the most devastating hit. Catching guys with their heads down is always fun and opposing players certainly wouldn't want to get caught doing that against big Dusty. Dusty is also fairly skilled in the offensive end so he'd also be able to provide some scoring from the back end as a bonus. So it almost seems a natural fit for big Dusty to play on the back end as well as forward as a couple of the guys in the NHL do, play a couple different positions when called upon.
