I have a feeling if the Flames landed Stone though they would get him to sign a deal around where his current cap hit is. I feel Frolik and Brodie’s cap hits would need to be moved by the summer to make it happen

This is my take as well, close enough anyway. We can debate winger and forward rankings and tiers of Flames till the cows come home but I fail to see why Stone is a "monster" at both ends of the ice but Lindholm isn't. And I certainly don't follow the logic of being what Tkachuk can be considering how elite Matthew already is.
Four forwards sitting at a PPG and we're aiming for a fifth, why? If you can find a magically land place for Neal then maybe it's possible.
