Not now that they've bought out Stone. But worse case scenario if you can't trade Brodie or Frolik to fit both Tkachuk and Mangepane on roster then a buyout of Brodie rather than Stone likely would have created enough cap space.
Especially if Brodie is going to be your 3rd paring dman... why not Stone instead and the extra cap room you would get.
