Looks like Mark Stone went to school on the Erik Karlsson debacle. He has only ever played for Ottawa and he wants to stay but we'll see what happens. Dorion using the same play book ... not negotiating until after the date where he could be signed. So we should soon hear that Dorion has offered Mark Stone a very good contract offer. We will then not hear much, but perhaps Mark Stone will be allowed to talk to teams that could be interested. Following that as the TDL approaches and Dorion was unable to move Bobby Ryan's contract in any deal; we will hear of a trade for less than Stone is worth. Dorion will be ecstatic with the return he was able to get. Later we will hear that Melnyk emailed Stone , but Stone asked him to deal with his agent. Dorion turned down substantially more from eastern conference teams but shipped him out west.
It will be a little different for Duchene who was waiting to see what happened with Stone. Duchene will not make similar proclamations ; but will say he is trying to focus on hockey while his agent works things out. Duchene will decide he wants to cash in on his one chance and will somewhat sympathetically and sadly want to move on. Dorion will get fleeced on the deal; but justify it and be positive about the return.
Dzingel after being ignored up until the last second decides to move on as well. Again the return is underwhelming, but Dorion will act surprised with Dzingels position, and say he did the best he could when hung out to dry at the last second.
Dorion has no time to swing a Ceci deal, but will proclaim that almost 20 teams were interested.
