You sign a player like Stone during free agency. He is a dime a dozen player. Plus he's overpaid as a bottom pairing Dman.
JVR would be third on the Flames in points and one goal off being tied for the lead in goals scored at the moment.
Leafs have Hainsey and Zaitsev on RD so Stone is playing bottom pairing so why would they even think of doing this?
It makes the most sense for the Leafs to hang on to JVR. He was great last year in the playoffs. Once the season is up he can go get paid and sign with whoever.
