The list of UFA RHS defencemen on the market is really small.
Girardi - 33 years old;
Wideman - really;
Shattenkirk - too pricey and doubt he wants to sign here,and the term "defenceman" should be used very loosely;
Franson - 29 year old, bounced around, can't seem to find a long term deal for years, tells ya something;
Matt Greene - I would have loved it just to see the minority freak out;
Polak - 31 years old with major injury in the playoffs;
Tom Gilber - interested?
Which of those guys would you have preferred to Stone?

Lol, dude. Who says I haven't done my research? It's just a message board.
Also, I would've preferred Franson, if you really, really needed me to answer your question so much. And if not Franson, I would've been fine with a kid. I don't think I need to explain my reasoning. However, since all the information is out there, I would say there's lots of reasoning available out there for why re-signing Stone should've been treated with more caution than this. I'm not an overly negative poster (in fact, I don't really post much to begin with). I generally pop in and I pop out sometimes with some pube bets along the way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I recognize you want to instill a higher quality of the message board but some people say their piece and go. In which case, looks like that's my time.
Enjoy your weekend.
