Yeap. Don't trade for Mark Stone now.
Wait and see what happens. If he goes UFA the Flames would be able to re-evaluate at that time, and if they do decide they want to take a run at him they would likely have the inside track.
I like our team now. If we get a break out season from any of our young guys this team should make the playoffs easily, and have just as good of a chance as anyone to make some noise once they get there. If we get a break out from more than one of our young guys this team is bordering on elite IMO. No sense dealing futures for a piece we could very well land for free in a years time.
