Good prospect still, but he made some rather large decisions with a trickle down effect (kulak out, spending multiple picks since to plug that hole, passing up Stone, needing top 6 skill since, all while Valimaki sits out almost two seasons), that were directly made to help facilitate him playing on the team, which hasn't come to fruition yet.

Bizarre take. The reason they moved picks for D this year is due to Gio, Valimaki and Hamonic being injured.
They passed on Stone because they couldnt afford a 9.5M contract (probably more than $10M in Calgary). Stone doesn’t change the playoff result from last year.
