Speculation: Mark Stone Megathread Part 4, Vegas emerges as favorite per Friedman

[General Disarray]

Chevy did try and Dorian played games.

If the Jets still want him they will have to try and get him in summer by out bidding all the other teams.

Why are Jet fans getting mad at Dorian. He set a price for his marquee player. Other teams can pay the price or move on. Jets didn't want to pay the price so they moved on. Maybe someone else will pay the price.

I'm going to guess Dorion flubs this deal and Stone doesn't go anywhere.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Poille is going to panic last minute and cough up tolvanen +

 

[kylbaz]

I call Nashville for Fabbro, first and conditional 2nd (first if resigns).

Ottawa wants more. Or they cave after Jets went another route. Interesting to see what happens.

 

[Sparky93]

Stone to the Flames for.... Dube + 1st + cond 1st

I’m saying 1st, Kylington, Zavgorodniy + conditional 1st based on resigning

If they extend him, is it really a flub ?

Dorion isn't smart enough to play games.

Chevy wasn't willing to meet the price for Stone. If Dorion was playing games, Duchene would still be a member of the Sens.

 

[CraigsList]

I think Calgary is Dorion's last resort if he doesn't get any other buyer willing to give more.

First, second and a top prospect is a decent price for a rental.

Hossa got maybe a bit more, not much, but he was with Dupuis.

I don't believe to 2 firsts + 2 top prospects. It's not realistic.

You can be bad at a game but still play. I mean, look at half the guys on Ottawa's roster

 

[Gardner McKay]

You are assuming they can work out a deal. Giving Dorion way too much credit. Another year or two he will be giving Chiarelli a run for his money in the worst GM of the last 20 years category.

 

[Lateralous]

I call Nashville for Fabbro, first and conditional 2nd (first if resigns).

I would think it would be Tolvanen, not Fabbro. Fabbro is protection for when they lose/trade a Dman in preparation for expansion draft.

Because they’re mad they didn’t get Stone. You can tell by the tone of the posts.

 

[tntkid]

By playing games you mean wanting a one decent piece (apparently Roslovic) included in a package for an elite winger?

How unreasonable of him.

Winnipeg was serious but Dorian is a clown.

They had to move on instead of wasting time when other good players were available.

Power outages all over ottawa last night, maybe pierre's alarm did not go off and he is going to sleep through the deadline.

Umm he's already in the running.

If that is the case I don't believe Duchene would have been moved as early as he was. Dorion set his price and is holding firm.

 

[Michoulicious]

I would think it would be Tolvanen, not Fabbro. Fabbro is protection for when they lose/trade a Dman in preparation for expansion draft.

I think Tolvanen is a superior prospect in Poile mind... He was pretty clear about not trading him,

Predators open to trading 1st-round pick, but not Tolvanen

It is, but I'm saying I'm sure the Jets offered similar and Ottawa said no. Their talks were probably going no where so Chevy left.

That's what I'm saying though, Dorion's so bad he doesn't even know what game he's playing

 

[Hale The Villain]

Winnipeg was serious but Dorian is a clown.

If they were serious they wouldn't have been unwilling to make a decent offer for Stone.

They preferred to deal the cheaper package for the worse player in Hayes.

I'm not a Dorion fan at all, but that decision isn't his fault whatsoever.

Chevy is a really cheap GM. I don't think he offered Niku, first + 2nd for Stone. He should have, but he did not.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

The best offer for stone is probably not available anymore.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I don't believe to 2 firsts + 2 top prospects. It's not realistic.

Of course not. It's an asking price.

You ask for a couple 1sts and top prospects hoping to get a couple top prospects and a 1st, or a couple 1sts and a top prospect.

Dorion will probably end up settling for a good prospect or two, 1st and a conditional pick.
