The top 4 are set, and I don't think that Stone is going anywhere any time soon. So if we need to room for Andersson out of camp, he will play RD, and Stone is better than Kulak. Do you move Stone to the LD spot and sit Kulak in the pressbox? Maybe a trade once you know that Andersson will stick?
Is he actually, though? About the only thing I see him offering over Kulak is "experience" on the penalty kill, but I don't think he's a guy you necessarily want on a PK2 which is all about entry denial which he's terrible at. At 5v5 there's no doubt Kulak is the superior player and a Kulak-Andersson paiing would IMO outperform a Stone-Andersson or Kulak-Stone pairing.
