There is zero issue with what we're paying our #4 and #5 D right now. If anything, tonight showed how good it was to have Stone step up into our top four.
Really odd thing to take issue with.

Not that odd. We entered the game 31st in the league in goals per game. Treliving spent the summer spending money and draft picks on defence and goalies and finally dropped a modest amount of money on Jagr after training camp was done. At a minimum it's debatable that some of the money and assets spent on getting two 4/5 guys at 3.5 - 4m each would have been better spent on offensive help particularly given the number of prospects we have pushing to make the club.
