The reports were that we couldn't talk with Stone ahead of time, doesn't make sense for Ottawa to allow Vegas and not Calgary. And teams can easily agree to contracts in a couple hours if they are on the phone immediately with the agent and both sides have offers prepared. Also in the case of Stone, they had "agreed to terms" that night, but the signing wasn't official for some time, so they may have only agreed to final numbers and were still ironing out amounts for signing bonuses.
