You said he brings two things to the table: physicality and a big shot. I contradicted them with my own points. I'm not looking to change your mind because obviously I can't do that. I'm looking to express my opinion. You responded by saying he's a good 3nd pairing defender who can play up, and just glossed over my rebuttal.
And yes, for $3.5MM, there is no question Stone is a net negative on this team. There's a reason why this team missed the playoffs, and part of it is because we have a lot of bad players.
If you want to use a hypothetical situation that has not occurred where Stone gets a big return in a trade as an argument against my position, that's fine by me, but it highlights how far from reality you need to reach in order to push your own position.
