The thing that bothered me about the Brouwer signing, and now Stone albeit to a lesser extent, is you have guys who by all accounts want to be here and only here, yet we are unable to sign them for a significantly discounted price. Obviously none of us are privy to negotiations, but one would think that their strong desire to live here would be a big leverage point on the part of the Flames. I guess not.
