I wouldn't want anyone talking to my player unless we had a deal we agreed on.

I am just going off media reports here at the time. Also Maloney said they went to bed having agreed on a deal and fell apart the next day, so it can either be Stone not engaging, or it could be the ask being too high from his side.

Going into the negotiation they should have known what a contract looks like for him. Don't think Treliving could grind down that deal for Stone like he did with our RFA's.

Just shows you how having space is so important, instead of capping your team out on July 1st signing players like Troy Brouwer or a James Neal. Always annoyed me that as soon as Treliving found a dollar and draft pick he would spend it right away.
