This to me is all the more reason to keep the first. The Flames will need a healthy stock of ELCs to keep the cost of the bottom six low moving forward.

The main concern that some folks are having is how to fit Stone intoo the cap. Unfortunately about half a dozen things need to go right for this to happen
- remove Frolik with no salary back
- remove Brodie with no salary back (I hate this)
- sign BSD for 2.5 million (a steal!)
- sign a back-up for 1 million (negligent in a window)
- sign a Chucky for <8 million (thanks Nylander you bastard)
- sign Bennett for 2.5 million (might get done, who knows)
- get Stone for ~8 million (he could likely command more and in better tax jurisdictions...hope he likes his brother enough)
- sign Hathaway for 1 million (surely he’s proven to be worth more than that)
Anything else I’m missing?
