I totally agree with you. I am excited about the young D guys in our system also but to just stick a veteran in the press box who is a solid bottom pairing guy doesn't make sense. Unless of course other players are in fact clearly better and deserve that spot. Stone also provides some grit and snarl that most of our team lacks.
