There was none, so Calgary bows out and Ottawa takes Vegas' package and Stone signs immediately long term.
That's more or less how it went down, from what I could gather.

This was it exactly. My brother knows someone on the Flames and he was told that as soon as they talked to Stone they knew they couldn't offer what Ottawa wanted. I took that to mean he wasn't commited to a long term contract.
