Just stop talking about getting a signed Stone. It’s not happening. Any deal is 30 games of stone with the inside track to sign him. Ya contract extensions have happened in trade and sign deals but almost always for significantly less valuable assets. Stone gets to wait 30 games and go anywhere he wants. I can see the flames resigning him ahead of the FA if he come Shere and loved the team but I don’t see it happening before he gets here unless it’s a over pay. Why exactly does he want to significantly raise his trade value for Ottawa again? And it’s not only Stone you’re talking, it’s Dzingel as well. I actually could see Dzingel being signed ahead of time but you’re not trading Tkachuk for Dzingel and a Stone playoff run.
On another note, does the team trading for Stone get the exclusive right to add an extra year to his extension versus teams trying to sign him as a UFA?
