He was actually drafted as a C.
I like the idea of Hall at the deadline. Trade Ryan now, accumulate cap over the year, and trade for Hall and a top 6 RW at the deadline, going all in for a run with the current core. Right after the playoffs, trade Gaudreau (if you can before the NTC kicks in) and over the off-season trade everyone over 25 and do a major rebuild. A few players would have to waive, but given a clear intent to rebuild they might agree to.
