Do you think Patches is worth any of those ? I sure don't. Stone absolutely is. I don't know how much you have seen of Stone, but he is a absolute gem. Probably top 3 winger in the league defensively, who is good for 65-75 points. Who is younger, RFA, and oozes intangibles you want in a player.
Patches can score goals. Other than that he doesn't bring much more. Is older and is a UFA next year.
If you think they would return similar trade value you are just flat out wrong. Would you trade Patches straight across for Gaudreau ? No. That is the type of value Stone has.

Aww $hi#.. totally missed that post. My apologies.
So... You don’t think a package around Backlund(signed at 5.5 for 4-5 years), Brodie and Dube or Mangiapane or Kylington get it done for Stone? I gotta think Ottawa seriously considers it.
And with that said, someone .... (stopped myself and almost had a stroke because I realized how stupid I must sound..)
You’re absolutely right. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if a team seriously overpaid for Patches... but no GM should be paying what they would need to pay for Stone.
Again, I apologize.
