Had the Flames been able to see a clear path to signing Stone while not facing other cap constraints with their RFA’s they may have paid that price

I highly doubt they would want to commit 9.5 for 8 years. I bet term was a huge issue and the determining factor. Typically in UFA you over pay in term and salary. with it being a sign and trade, the term is probably 2 years too many.
