If only is parents named him Steven Austin Stone, instead of Mark Stone.... then he could be Stone Gold Steve Austin

This is great news! As a long-time Stone fan, it's great to know that he's going to be on a team committed to winning it all every year. I've always said that it's character guys like him that make good teams great teams. Hope he proves me right in Vegas!

Needs change

Needs change

This is the new NHL where owners with $'s are able to outbid those without. Not a lot of teams can dump that much cash every July 1st. My guess - this will be a major issue that leads to a work stoppage and lockout when the next CBA is being negotiated. It's always funny to watch the owners playing hardball with the players over the loopholes that the owners found to screw the intent of the system.

 

[LadyStanley]

Technically, GMs find the loopholes.

And as per tweet I posted in BOH thread on jock tax, having majority of income in bonuses mean they aren't taxed when he travels to other teams.

How has Stone been for you guys after settling in?

Will be rooting for Vegas to win the cup.

He has completely changed the complexion of this team. I dont think I'm overstating it.

 

[Aurinko]

contract preview:

a) he seems to be as good as his defensive stats promised
b) he seems to be as good as the hfboards said
c) he seems to fit the team amazingly well (I would have though 9,5M$ guy would HAVE to cause locker room toxicity)
d) he is the kind of player that will probably mature well

Anyone know how many goals have been scored as a direct result of a Stone steal thus far? I think that would be a cool stat to know.

One instance stands out in my mind where we scored after a Stone mugging. He just slapped the dude's stick straight to the sky and swiped it; dude didn't know what hit him.

Really good story about Mark Stone and Vegas,from the score network, from 5 hours ago… it's long and describes him growing up and studying game tapes as a kid.... Evolution complete: Mark Stone arrived in Vegas at the perfect time
