Yeah, that was her.
She offered that while Stone has done a good job of stabilizing the second pair he should not be considered a long-term solution. Again, she sees him as a good #5–6 defensemen, but suggested that the Flames should pursue someone like Shattenkirk(!) to fill that #3–4 hole.
That is ridiculous.
