Ummm.
What.
I like Stone, but Harmonic brings a better defensive and physical game then Stone could ever hope to. I would argue that Harmonic is way better at that aspect of his game then Stone. The Flames needed to add that strong defensive presence to the Flames
If you think your going to get Demers for cheap your fooling yourself, and Franson is a bottom pairing guy who's probably going to command the same hit as Harmonic on the market.
Your actually reaching and you don't know what your talking about.
Franson made 3 million bucks a year at 29 and he's a UFA. He'll probably end up with Russell numbers and he's pretty much a bottom pairing guy.
Florida is paying Demers 4.5 and would probably want more then the Islanders wanted for Harmonic.
