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

[tntkid]

As a preds fan, I only have interest in Stone if we can resign him. I hate our team this year for whatever reason. I feel no confidence going for broke for a pure rental.

Nashville should spend to the moon.

He is a good player and better than Duchene.

Stone isn't worth what they are asking for him unless he is signed and I do not see that happening. I am hoping the Predators stay away from that kind of ask.

I don't think he fixes everything for us. There is a lot wrong with us looking under the surface of competing for 1st in the Central.

You and the Jets both it seems, although I can't imagine the Preds looking as bad as the Jets have the last few months

1st, B prospect and C prospect - not a huge haul.

Vesalainen is in a completely different tier of prospects than those guys. So I still don't see him moving for a rental, just as 99% of rentals before didn't return a prospect of that caliber.

Prospects with top 6 projections who are almost NHL ready rarely get traded and even more rarely is it for a rental.

Well, our team has gone long stints with Arvidsson, Forsberg, Turris and Subban on IR. Top 6 has played under 20 games together as a unit and we're sitting in first in the division. It could be worse.
Agree on the rental part.

I can agree that we have looked terrible lately.
If we mortgage our future for a 20 day rental our window to win a cup in the next few years may be much smaller.

Stone however is a great player but not a center that we need.

Chevy may just go after Kevin Hayes instead which is probably the smarter choice right now for us and our future.

Shit, I think we need to swap seats and give both fan bases a new pile of shit to look at.

EDIT: Can we just agree to no trades...we go at each other as is. We can try again next year.

Are you suggesting Stone is better than Duchene? Because unless you're playing fantasy, C's are more valuable than wingers. I like Stone a lot, but don't think he'll return as big a haul - guess we'll see.

People like Lebrun and McKenzie who talk daily with NHL executives have concluded that Stone is the most valuable rental. They've talked about this in multiple radio spots. They put Stone+Panarin neck and neck ahead of Duchene.

Stone should get a better return than Duchene. I don't think it'll be drastically better, but with Panarin and Duchene both apparently off the market, along with the possibility of a bidding war between CGY, WPG, and NSH, I don't think it's logical to assume Stone will attract a lesser return than Duchene.

I wanted Stone in Dallas as he would fit better there than with any other team in the NHL.

I hope he goes to Boston so the East can all kick each others heads in.

New thread for every tweet? Maybe we can combine some of these into a general deadline related tweets....

[DistantThunderRep]

WTF does this mean?

 

[dubplatepressure]

gross

 

[CaptBrannigan]

WTF does this mean?

That the Sens are like a lot of players here and overrating a player they own.

 

[viper0220]

I think Mark Stone goes to the Blue Jackets, the Jackets trade Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin and use those assets on Mark Stone, Ryan Dzingel and Craig Anderson.

 

[kevind122684]

Stones value is now 1st, conditional 1st, 2 good prospects.. that's steep for a rental

 

[spockBokk]

Does starting a thread for every tweet you see make you feel funny in your undies?

Jeez....

 

[Noodletoro]

WTF does this mean?

That Lebrun doesn't know the difference between blushing and blanching.

 

[Hunter368]

Fair enough. There's not a lot of productive discussion on either side.

I agree that there are some on both sides throwing out totally unrealistic offers/demands.......good thing is this is nearly over.

Why not have an all purpose Stone thread ? Just because you post a new thread doesnt mean you're a deal breaker.
