So, your offer is about, more or less, a late 1st for Stone.
It would likely take about the 1st and one of the Flames young d-men to get it done. No salary dump.
Teams will line up to trade for Stone, if he gets moved.

Mangiapane's value is not negative.
Neal's value is poor because of his contract. So retaining a portion can fix that problem.
