According to Cap Friendly, there are at least 18 teams right now that could fit his cap hit under their own caps. That's quite a bit.

Isn't the buyout window coming up for the Flames? If he's not bought out, then it's waiver wire for him - the more likely of the two scenarios.

I just don't see him being bought out or traded, only on waiver wire. And I don't really care if I'm proven wrong lol

Your string of posts on Stone are bizarre. You say he's a boat anchor contract that would require another boat anchor coming back in a trade, but then claim that he could get picked up on waivers in September? AND Brad is supposed to wait for that hope and prayer to become cap compliant!!?
Couple things - If he's untradeable without an anchor coming back, what team that sees that as his value right now is suddenly going to happily take on that same contract on waivers? That isn't logical.
Also, pre-season waivers don't work like you think they do, they're actually generally the opposite of what you're thinking. So many teams are trying to make final roster moves that teams actually use it as the best waiver period to "sneak" a player through waivers.
