Evidently we weren't watching the same player.
Having a really, really hard time understanding how anyone could be disappointed bringing Stone back at $3.5. There were a number of teams (Leafs included) looking to bring him in to play in their top 4, where surely he'd have got north of $4MM.
The Flames just brought in Stone at basically Engelland money from his last contract. Add this to the fact the forward free agent crop is extremely weak (and old) and it doesn't restrict us from retaining any of our core players in the forseeable future....not sure what's not to like about this deal.
