It isn't a certainty. We don't know what his injury is, we don't know how long he needs to be out of the lineup, and we most certainly don't know that the league will cooperate in faking an injury so one team can get an advantage over the other 31. Is that enough uncertainty for you? Apparently not.
We also don't know that Stone himself will cooperate in that. I bloody well wouldn't; I'd want to play as soon as possible.
The Vegas Golden Knights have precisely two players this season who are at a PPG, and both have already missed substantial time to injury. You really think they'll voluntarily sit one of them for another 34 games so they can activate another player who (a) is hardly any better offensively, (b) is notably worse defensively, and (c) isn't even expected to play for weeks yet?
Pull the other one; it's got bells on.
