After this signing, we have to trade one puckmoving defenceman to defensive guy, or push some puckmoving to mainly defensive "Stuart" role.

Could that be Quincey?

Ian White and Colaiacovo are not PK defencemen, so the others have to be.

Even strength hierarchy:
Kronwall
Ericsson
Quincey
White
Smith
Colaiacovo
(Kindl)

PK hierarchy:
Ericsson
Kronwall
Quincey
Smith
White
(Kindl)
Colaiacovo

PP hierarchy:
Kronwall
White
Colaiacovo
Quincey
Smith
(Kindl)
Ericsson

So is the plan to push Smith and Quincey to a more defensive role, to get the best total effort out from defence (using White and Cola on the power-play) ?

We have to split those minutes somehow, there isn't any defenceman who can play +25 minutes a night. Mainly everybody is going to play near 20 minutes, except Kronner 25. And that 25 minutes is maximum for Kronwall.
