Thinking more about this trade today and there is a lot not to like.
Vegas got themselves a great player but at a huge cap hit for a winger who although is absolutely one of the best wingers in the NHL , is not a game breaker IMO.
Senators didn't really score huge with the package they received. No 1st rounder,a decent prospect and a good young player who looks to be a solid NHLer. I thought they would have received more.
Stone is the big winner here no doubt. And Vegas I suppose, until they start to feel the effects of the cap hit and the young players/picks they have given up.
