People need to look at this signing differently, it's not $1.8M for a 7th defenseman. It's $700k for a 7th defenseman. If the Flames sign some defenseman other than Stone with $700K, we would not have lump the $700K with Stone's buy out cost, because that cost is already spent. So, you might not see Stone is worth the $1.8M but he's certainly worth $700k.
