I keep seeing this but the only information I can dig up is from Friedman, who said the opposite:

I think if Calgary got him there, the Flames loved their chances of it (signing Stone long-term) eventually occurring. But word is Ottawa’s ask included Juuso Valimaki, and for the second year in a row Calgary rejected anyone’s attempts to pry loose the Finnish defenceman.

Seems like they didn't make the trade because they wouldn't move Valimaki.
All the Monahan discourse is funny too because I and some posters had been posting about his limits for a long time before his decline became so obvious. I distinctly remember advocating trading him after 2019.
Anyway, endlessly rehashing the minutiae of BT's moves or non-moves is pointless. He's had 8 years and has built an asset-poor team with no #1C or #1D that tops out at as maybe a one-round team if things go right.
