Getting a depth Dman makes sense if they are planning to move Stone to open a spot for Andersson and clear some salary/cap space.
If they move Stone their #5 Dman is Kulak, their #6 Dman is Andersson and their #7 Dman is between Hogstrom, Valimaki and Kylington. You don't want Valimaki or Kylington sitting around as a #7 Dman, and we don't know what Hogstrom is in NA yet, so in that scenario it makes a ton of sense to get a cheaper veteran #7 Dman.
