As for your bottom 6 forwards/7th D scenario...how are you managing that without trading away a bunch of players?
Bottom 6 guys now
Neal replacement 3.5M (including retained salary in hypothetical trade)
Bennett at 2.5 (your numbers...Im guessing 3.5 at least)
Ryan at 3.1
Janko at 1.7
Hathaway at 1M ish
Mangiapane at 1M ish
Czarnik 1.2M
7th D 800K
Someone else from the roster would have to be moved is the bottom line and that would denigrate the depth BT has worked so hard to accumulate. therefor i see no possible way Stone would be retained...life in a salary capped world.

Your inability to think and make moves like a wizard is your own problem, not Brad Treliving's or the Calgary Flames.
