I think you keep Stone and Kulak for one more year. Ideally, both Kylington and Valimaki knock down the door next summer and make them expendable. But right now, having them for the bottom-pairing is smart. Injuries do happen and Stone has proven that he can handle 2nd pairing minutes. Kulak will probably never be more than a 16-17 minutes guy, but he's solid at what he does. Can easily push him down to 7th, too.
Also, "too many RDs" is a great problem to have in this league.
