He hasn't played forward since his first junior season I believe which goes wayyyyy back.
There was a game in Stockton where a few players got kicked out of the game and he pinched in, but he is far better at defence.
I believe he also used to play LW, an area of strength. Leave him on defence, people going to get injured and he has already proven he can handle NHL minutes.
Our long term left side defence looks so much better with him in it.
Hanifin-Vali-Kylington is going to be very solid for a very very long time.
Keep him unless a clear cut slam dunk is offered.
