I wonder if one of those four would need to be going back to Ottawa to make the cap work...

I think a deal for Stone could involve Laine.
He hasn't really looked fantastic this year, but will command a significant contact based on the previous 2 years. He can obviously put up points, but is pretty one dimensional, so including him in a trade gets great value in return, and let's management off the hook from having to sign Laine to a silly contact.
