He seemed even more comfortable with Stone. Wouldn't mind putting Hamonic on the 3rd pairing with Kulak when he returns.

I have thought the same thing since the day Hamonic was acquired. I know pretty much everyone and management had Hamonic pencilled in as Brodie's partner. But deep down, I always felt that Stone should have kept that spot and Hamonic being able to anchor the 3rd pairing and be able to slot in at #4 if need be.
It might look sacrilegious to see Hamonic on the 3 pairing. But that just speaks to the Flames' depth on the backend. I was not surprised one bit to see Stone have the game he did. The Flames lack a slapshot from the blueline. Stone brings that. It was quite refreshing to see a Dman wind up and let loose a slap shot. Hell, he might even be able to do a one-timer! Something no one on the team seems to be able to do.
