This is UFA and trade deadline bidding wars combined. Bad combo.
If I am trading firsts and top prospects, I am getting someone good on a friendly contract with term.
Stone is good, but at 10M he is way overpaid. He is no Tavares.
If this is the reality then Lidholm is worth 4 Firsts and a top prospect or 2.
Flames may be better off looking for a smaller deal.
I can live with giving up a first and a Foo or Mangipabe, but not much more.

You won't be getting Stone for that offer unfortunately
