There’s lots of evidence Stone is essentially a replacement level defencemen. If they can move his $3.5 M contract, I’m all for exchanging that for a much cheaper depth defencemen.

I also think Stone needs to be moved soon if the Flames have a chance of getting anything for him. As time passes, I think the value will drain from him because, in my opinion, he is the defenceman-Brouwer. They literally have the exact same goals above replacement: 2/100.

Just thinking about ~10% of the cap being invested in 2 replacement level players is sad, but every team has bad contracts.
