I am surprised how little love Stone gets here. He is a good, solid player with a howitzer shot from the blue-line and great work ethics. When he was healthy and played regularly, he was good as a 4th and excellent as a 5th. I understand the excitement about having more (and younger) players available, which is not a luxury we have had for a long time, but it is almost turning towards some dismissing Stone already as a reject in favour of younger guys. I hope Stone gets healthy and plays a lot. Every team needs players like Stone during playoffs.
