Well
ain't that exciting.
Seriously though, Stone's (Flames) production pace of around 25
even strength points is perfectly solid for a top four defenseman. Even Gio and Brodie didn't total that many ES points. No, Stone isn't a guy you want manning PP1 (although Arizona had him play PP in the past), but his offensive capability is the major reason he is even considered a top 4 option. Without that he's just a bottom pair guy and probably not a great one. Speaking of which, Alzner. Avoid Alzner unless it's for under 2.5 million a year. He is this offseason's Troy Brouwer - the biggest mistake waiting to happen.
