It's just funny that fans think the Flames will be able to acquire a difference-maker from another team - a player who's the 3rd or 4th best player on an NHL roster - without giving up any of our top 8 players. If the Flames had such a stellar core they'd have made it into the playoffs and won a round or two.

Stone is the 2nd or 3rd best player (depending on your view of Duchene) on a team that finished 30th, 17 points behind Calgary. If you downgrade Brodie on the basis of team finish, you downgrade Stone too.
Of course, it's not that simple.
