In hindsight, last year was probably the year to go all in at the trade deadline. But then, would Stone have really changed the tone of that series? Hard to say.
This year? Limping into the playoffs without a full time head coach while half your stars are struggling. 3 of the defencemen you were hoping to have on the opening roster are injured (Vali, Gio, Hamonic).
Sounds like the perfect time to go get a big fish!
