You can't evaluate players during hot streak, nor cold streaks. Stone was clearly on a heater here. Not to mention salary structure.

Huh? Stone is going to play a limited role with some nice PP time. He is going to eat those minutes up compared to a guy like Bartkowski. The Flames now have the crazy defensive depth needed to handle the heavyweights of the western conference. If someone gets hurt, you can easily slide these top 5 guys up and down the lineup.
I don't see many negatives aside from creating a log-jam in the prospect pipeline. That would be a good problem to have though if the team needs to make a deal to give Andersson/Kulak or Kylington playing time.
