Stone doesn't take much heat cause he's on our 3rd pairing...but a -5 night is pretty hard to do. Another 2 years left on the contract after this season, at $3.5M, for limited minutes and very limited offence. Many of us opposed that deal when it was signed, wishing that money was spent on a forward instead. Does anyone think there would have been a significant downgrade if we were playing Andersson or any other $1M fringe NHLer in his spot, and used that money on scoring?
