I hope it doesn't come at the cost of more prospects though.
The top 4 needs to be the stability now ~ at some point we need guys like Kulak or guys like Kylington or guys like Andersson to take the step and if we keep plugging in bottom pairing D we aren't allowing the prospects to earn a chance like they should be given. If Brodie, Gio, Hammer and Hamonic were playing like everyone thought they would be I don't think there would be any smoke to improving the 3rd pairing D. I just don't see the need at this point when you consider just how deep we are at Defense. Is another player like Stone really worth what it will cost? I think we need to focus on thinning out some of the forward contracts (Stajan, Versteeg, F. Hamilton) promoting 1 or 2 of the youth (Hathaway, Mangiapane) and MAYBE look at adding 1 more depth forward closer to the deadline.
