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.

Yeah exactly. That, plus the worth of the trade and you’ve practically given up a couple NHL lines for 1 player. But, players like that don’t come along often.
I’m still happy the Flames didn’t do it.
