So I wonder if right now they're considering only playing him for 9 and then sending him down.
Possible scenarios:
- Giving Valimaki 9 games until making a decision. Could go back to Kulak-Stone if Valimaki doesn't command staying up beyond 9.
- Trying to trade Stone to make a RD spot for Andersson but will go Valimaki-Stone until a trade is made because Andersson can't play the left side. Then after that it could be Kulak-Andersson or Valimaki-Andersson.
- Already committed to keeping Valimaki up beyond 9 and that has benefited Stone as they don't want Valimaki playing without a Vet.
