Presumably Treliving has learned you can't reward short hot streaks with big money. It took Bouma, Brouwer, and seeing what happened with Colborne to get there, but surely he won't overpay a player he clearly likes perhaps a bit too much at this point, right? Stone is a third pairing defenceman, pay him accordingly. Keep the salary structure in place. Don't take the excellent work of this week and sewer it with a crazy number for a declining depth defenceman.
Anything over $2.0 will be disappointing. (Disclosure: fully prepared to be disappointed)
