Unfortunately, it looks like Andersson's main competition will be Kulak or Prout. They went out to get Prout for a reason. No way Stone is sent down, and I would argue no way he is the 7th D to start. That leaves Kulak, who I'd imagine the team would want to trade away instead of bury. Ultimately, unless they find a good trade, and combined with any potential PTO, I don't see him on the opening roster.
I do agree with that. Although, I think Kulak will be traded during the preseason (not for much though). There are always injuries and teams need a cheap replacement.
