I’d love them to pick up Stone and find a way to sign him, but then expansion is going to be tough - 5 core F not even counting Backlund so can only protect 3 D. They’re going to lose their 4th best D unless they make a deal.

Of course if they don’t sign Stone or some other core piece then they’re still going to lose their 3rd or 5th best D or someone like Backlund or Bennett so maybe it doesn’t make that much difference.
