There are no real cap implications here.
The Flames were always going to have a fight in camp for the 7D spot. It was looking like it would be between Yelesin, Davidson, Valiev, and MacDonald. Each of those guys would be making minimum, except Yelesin ($925k).
Now, Stone has been added to that pile (and he'll likely win the battle). So now you have a $700k seventh defenseman. That's what was going to happen all along. The rest of the guys to the AHL and don't count against the cap.
