I don't necessarily disagree with the overall opinion (of dealing from a position of 'strength' to fill a position of concern), but I think comparing a bonafide NHL defender in Stone to a fringe NHL player in Kulak is nonsense.
There's never going to be a question on who to scratch between the two.
Kulak is the protypical stopgap, 7th defensemen, injury replacement defender. Once Anderson does prove himself, there's no issue sending him up to the pressbox.
With that said, there's no point in trying to move him because no team is going to give much for him while Stone might actually get you some help upfront.
