The automatic answer is Stone, but seeing how well he has performed as a #4, plus his contract and Hamonic's value...Hamonic may be the odd man out. Could likely recoup a first + for him.
Similar questions may arise next year with Fox, Valimaki and Kylington pushing...

Personally I'm a bit frustrated that we have both Hamonic and Stone. I get injuries and depth, but I feel like we really set ourselves up to not allow any of our prospects to get a chance.
I'm glad that Andersson looks great, and Kulak looks like he has solidified his spot, but Valimaki, Kylington and Fox are coming up and we need the room.
I think the answer is to get rid of Stone, but we lose our biggest shot on the blueline. It'll be a tough choice. Might depend on what we can get back for it.
I would've loved if we didn't have Hamonic and kept our first, and have a bit smoother transition from the farm club to the NHL.
