I still think you could pick up a better Wideman alternative and expose Gio, with a handshake deal with Vegas not to take him, even though they probably wouldn't take his albatross contract anyway.

Not sure the Flames are in a spot where they can go after a rental. Stone is going to cost a 2nd+ to get. I also think he is going to cost $5M per to keep. Having said that it was rumored Treliving offered Sven for him in 2015. Also both Treliving and Maloney know him well so if they really like him then maybe they acquire him?
