I'm not sure I agree with Stone being ready having almost 0 game experience for most of this season. I mean maybe, but a low cost playoff experienced defenseman would be more ideal.
Case and point Mr.Nylander up in Toronto. He was skating hard, contact practices etc for the first part of the season and its not really translating at all yet in the big show.
I'd be hesitant to have Stone jump into meaningful games while being expected to play 12-15 minutes a night.
