I wouldn't be confident if any of those guys had to step into a playoff game this season.
Given how we are positioning ourselves for a run, paying a 3rd round pick for some bottom pairing insurance seems like the prudent thing to do.
Never play your insurance guys

Be shocked when they can’t provide insurance


Stone and Valimaki were more than good enough last time they played. Mackey probably would be good enough. Don’t need to spend assets on trash tier players just to have them not play.
