It's not a trade that makes sense for Calgary under the cap and for that reason I too am out, but 1st + Andersson would be a perfectly valid payment for Stone under contract. Andersson's poor underlying numbers suggest he's not exactly a future top pairing guy.
It's just that we can't afford Stone under contract without sending both Neal and Frolik the other way and even then we need to re-sign Bennett, Tkachuk, Rittich, and a backup goalie this offseason. Stone's a pipe dream.
