Well, sure the Flames could've signed Stone. Absolutely. But then they would've been forced to go down the same avenue that Vegas has this offseason, meaning that, in addition to having to trade Frolik, they'd probably be forced to deal a number of Brodie, Hamonic, Ryan, and Mike Stone.
Right now, the Flames can probably manage to ice the same roster that finished 2nd in the NHL last year, minus maybe one piece. The alternative, made reality by acquiring Stone, would see a mass exodus of the depth that helped them stay so strong for the entirety of the regular season.
