I think people just need to be a little more patient. Bottom line every team knows the position Calgary is in, you aren't going to get the best offer if everyone knows you need to move something. Same as the Vegas scenario when they had all their Dmen and ended up sending Theadore down because they weren't getting value and refused to make a knee-jerk trade. It is also why hardly any RFA have signed, there is no urgency right now 2 days into August.
I am sure they didn't want to buyout Stone, but with his buyout and the tweaks they have made they could feasibly work something out and be under the cap to start the season.
