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

[Cellee]

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

Agreed.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Agreed.

For the sake of Ottawa fans, I hope it doesn't happen. They are good people and deserve better. But their GM... man. What a dolt.

 

[JurassicTunga]

 

[Michoulicious]

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.

Exactly what I'm saying.

First in 2019, Fabbro, conditional 2020 2nd round pick (becomes first if Stone resigns or if Nashville wins the cup). Maybe Hartman instead of the conditional 2nd.

 

[Duffalufagus]

If they extend him, is it really a flub ?

the deal would be done if he was going to resign. He's not. That ship is out to sea.

 

[Ahoy there]

Stone is on his knees praying harder than any point of his life that he won't be the last man left to finish the season in OTT

 

[FireDJ]

Dorion is damned if he does or damned if he doesn't.

All these other GM's see that he's lost a massive amount of trades over the years, and want to take advantage of him. He put up an asking price. Other teams won't meet it or really budge.

If Dorion caved into Cheveldayoff, he'd be getting ripped for a return of Lemieux, a first and whatever else the Jets would have thrown in.

This trade probably should of happened a week ago.

 

[FinRanger]

I think teams that want Stone don't want to pay what Dorion is asking. They know that Dorion is asking too much currently and will have to lower his offer soon cause Dorion knows that Stone will walk out in offseason.

 

[tntkid]

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.

Ottawa leaking the Jets information to try and jack up the price is a complete joke.
Their GM is a complete idiot and he is sinking that team.

I am sure other teams are all looking to sign Stone for free this summer after seeing the shit show Dorian is playing.

 

[kylbaz]

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

You're right. Possibly didn't want to jeopardize the future too much.

 

[Emerica]

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

I'm pretty confident also Dorion has a low ball offer on the table by CGY and he's just waiting to see if he can get something better elsewhere. If not, he'll either take the offer or take the chance at working things out between Melnyk and Stone's camp.

Where did Ottawa leak Jets information? Link?

If you're going to hate on the guy so much, please at least spell his name correctly- it is D-O-R-I-O-N. Carry on.

 

[KnockHobbler]

I think Jets fans are handling this worse than Ottawa fans at this point tbh

 

[Thrasymachus]

The best offer for stone is probably not available anymore.

I am thinking the same.

Reminds me of when Garth tried to trade Vanek

Everything is going to be ok. It's going to be alright. Take a breather.

Seriously we’re the team who has lost all its good players over the course of a year and a half.

My thoughts too. I think Calgary has a decent offer, but it's on the back burner.

 

[Michoulicious]

Haha. Kind of true.

Everyone thought they would get Stone... I would be disappointed too with Hayes if I thought I would get Mark Stone.

 

[OVO16]

Damn Ottawa really gonna botch this

 

[izzy]

Stone is on his knees praying harder than any point of his life that he won't be the last man left to finish the season in OTT

the one upside is he doesnt risk having a bad end to his year and playoffs from trying to adjust to a new team

would lose him some money in fa

 

[Sensinitis]

Seriously we’re the team who has lost all its good players over the course of a year and a half.

Hey we still have Cody Ceci !

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Hey we still have Cody Ceci !

Plus we now get to watch Zack Smith play 25 minutes a night. What a treat.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I just can't imagine Dorion will bungle this. He will trade him if he won't sign. Right? RIGHT?
