McKenzie: Mark Stone Mega-Thread Pt. 2 - Jets pursuing Stone, Ottawa working on contract extension

[Trinity]

Interesting. I think Gord is confused.

 

[Trinity]

.... Mckenzie rumor came out that Jets were probably after Stone... Stone reads.... new report... Ottawa is working on a contract extension.

Coincidence?

What are you suggesting?

 

[SensFactor]

That makes so sense. Sens need to get something for him.

It's all speculation at this point. Does he sign or get traded who knows but the new Sens contract offer has Stone's interest that's for sure.

 

[robertocarlos]

Stone maybe wants to be the big fish in Ottawa and is using the Jets to get more money from the Sens.
Still loves his family and will see them at Christmas. Winnipeg weather wins again.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Why? He’s a rental, everyone can wait till next year and get him for free.

Thats the point... not everyone can. One team gets to sign him, but his argument can apply equally to every team in the league.... which is why its a terrible argument.

Winnipeg weather was better than Ottawa weather this winter.

what's the reported offer? They're really gonna shell out big money for Stone? Why didn't they for EK65?

Exactly! If he really wants to play in Winnipeg he will sign next year if not, too bad. Why give are best prospects for nothing?

I don't know. I personally don't care about Karlsson and wanted him gone. Stone on the other hand, I want as the next captain.

But we have country music and line dancing.

maybe Mel had a cash-flow problem at the time. And players are taking shorter contracts so that's easier to manage.

Thats fine, some other team that is confident in him re-signing will pay up for him. Plenty of teams interested and Duchene will sign if he gets the right offer & opportunity. The team that provides that will give the best offer to Ottawa and that's where he'll go!

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Ottawa is awful with Stone. (not Stone's fault). I just wonder if Ottawa is better trading him, getting young assets and then with that money they have set aside for Stone....either sign Stone when he's a UFA or sign other UFAs.
This just resigning Stone seems like such a lateral move.

I give up, you obviously don’t know what a rental is.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Yeah no player who has been traded has ever re-signed with his new team, silly me. Anyways, I give up too lol - you dont even know how to spell the word "our" or what the concept of "nothing" entails

Umm Ottawa without Stone is even worse. You need star vets to lead youth in a rebuild. Tkatchuk probably has improved his game ten fold playing with Stone.

Can someone else respond to the guy who wants a rental to get a re-signed players trade value?

Yeah, I never said that lol... I criticized a faulty argument

Youre so bad at this dude, just stop

 

[robertocarlos]

Pimping ain't easy.

 

[robertocarlos]

We Jet fans have changed are minds. We want Barkov.

 

[robertocarlos]

Pimping ain't easy.

I knew you'd understand the rental market.

Edit: Wait, I didn't mean it that way.

 

[Antropovsky]

What are you suggesting?

.... does this help?

 

[Trinity]

No

I dont think the other poster is the problem here. I think it's your inability to understand that there is only Mark Stone or Matt Duchene and not "everyone can sign" them in the summer. I don't think you can dismiss the advantage a team can gain when acquiring a pending UFA. That's not to say it's a guarantee but the 'we will just sign him in free agency' is an awful argument because the potential suitors goes from 1 to 31 over night.

But we have country music and line dancing.

Winnipegger's basically know one line dance, "the Electric Slide", a disco dance from 1976.

It's embarrassing to watch people dance the same 18 steps to anything classified as country.
