Im really happy BT said no to that, regardless of how good one thinks stone is.

This is essentially my read on things. I think Treliving in the first place found the cost unpalatable, and then was not ready to make the same commitment to an extension for the player. Hence, if the Flames decided they would not extend Stone the framework for the deal became a playoff rental and at that point collapsed entirely.
