OUCH, that is expensive but he'd be great with the flaming C, do you think the sens would tie the first to a resign?

That would be ideal and in the real world probably how it would work - but on this site if you don’t super overpay everyone one the selling team has an apoplectic fit!

So true about this site, and that the proposal is overpayment. Look, Ottawa will NEVER trade Stone unless he refuses to sign. Since he could just walk and playoffs are not a factor, they MAY consider it but it's unlikely. Although the offer may not be totally unrealistic if it was a true hockey trade, the reality is Stone's value has to be reduced because he's a UFA that's going to walk (making that assumption). They could have a fit like Burke had a few years back and let a UFA walk because the offer was too low, but realistically the 1st plus 1 of the youngsters, with Frolik as a possible throw-in is still overpayment. Not likely to happen but its in Stone's court.
