Hall is signing here to win a Stanley cup.
Also, having seven top six forwards allows you to have options.
Did Phil Kessel have an issue playing on the "3rd line"? Or does his two Stanley Cups wipe that away?
5v5, it creates a third scoring line. He'd still get 1st PP unit time.
Also, coaches can shift stuff around to see what works. The entire argument that a player wouldn't sign here for this role or that role...if a player is chasing a Stanley Cup, and they believe in the team vision - then they'll sign. Hall has spoken openly about his desire to win a Cup. He wouldn't fixed on the 3rd line, it was just a way to show what real depth up front could look like.
