I think the Flames blueline is in trouble if the sign Stone to be the number 4 unless a kid steps up and takes the spot from him
Ideally the blueline looks like:
Gio-Hamilton
Brodie-#4
Kulak/prospect-Stone
Try and sign Stone for around 3 years $3M per to replace Engellend. If Stone wants more let him walk and circle back to Engellend. Either look for a trade for a second pair guy or sign someone like Alzner.
If the Flames can keep Stone but add a number 4 they are in very good shape on the back end next season
