No need to prepare yourself for disappointment.
The last official tweet concerning BOS and Stone was that both BOS and NSH were outliers and not in the lead like WPG and CAL. Combine that with the tweets that are saying the suitors are having a hard time with the cost of OTT's ask for Stone and we can see that teams in the running are nervous. If not, Stone would have been moved by now. Poile is known for not being afraid to improve his team in deals, but he is also known for being smart about it. I think both BOS and NSH are outliers atm because OTT's ask is just to dang high and they are waiting to see if someone overpays. If no one does then they can wait Dorion out until the price drops around lunchtime.
The smart vulture waits until all the cars have passed before dining.
