On one hand I love that his price/personal life means we get him within our budget, but lowkey kinda hate he's underselling himself and we're effectively taking advantage of his desire to be here. I know its a win/win in his mind but guy deserves to be paid

Sutter actually ins't a huge fan of Stone's defensive game. He's in the line-up because Kylington isn't here, or else he'd probably be in the press box like a large chunk of last season.
But his offensive threat is just awesome as a fan. Love the guy.
edit: it's fine that Stone is a little deficient defensively (especially breaking out), because if he was a strong defender and great at break outs and as threatening as he is offensively he'd be a top pairing, $7-$9mil defenseman and likely not playing for Calgary in the path of time. I love him for what he is.
