I don't see how an injury to a LD (Valimaki) impacts our signing of a RD (Stone)

The far more likely scenario is that the Flames feel Yelesin will require some development time in Stockton to really round out his game (they specifically identified pinching decision-making as a key area for improvement) and they want some injury contingency.
