That would also buy them a half a year to let Valimaki and Kyllington continue to develop

I get that having the kids pass Stone is a great thing. But Stone is a solid #4D on a lot of teams and that is worth a lot. So trading him makes a lot of sense especially since he's a RHD with a big shot. I think people are underestimating what the Flames could get in return for him. But that's only worth looking at if we are sure that Rasmus is indeed ready to go as a bottom pairing guy.
