I sincerely doubt that Stone heard Gulutzan on the radio this AM and said, "Well, that settles it."
People put way too much stock into the impact that interviews or opinions from talking heads have on the day-to-day economics of the NHL. The same sort of thing is presently taking place in Edmonton, and it is pure nonsense.
· No, Stone did not agree to re-sign in Calgary on the basis of a radio interview.
· No, McDavid has now not suddenly had second thoughts about signing at a $13.25 m cap hit because of the backlash on internet message boards.
· No, Draisaitl has not just now dramatically inflated his asking price on the basis of McDavid's reported contract number.
