CBJ gets Mark Stone signed long term.
OTT gets Oliver Bjorkstrand, Alexander Texier, and a 1st round pick.
Bjorkstrand has a special scoring touch, last year's 11 goals is low for him. Texier is a boom/bust type drafted out of France, if Ottawa prefers a steadier player like Gavrikov I think that would be an okay substitute. Both are worth a late 1st/ early 2nd approximately. And of course, to satisfy Melnyk, very little salary is going to Ottawa.
Mark Stone doesn't need a summary. The Jackets can afford him this year no problem and next year no problem if one or both of Bobrovsky and Panarin walk.
*** Can Mark Stone sign an extension now, given that he just signed a one-way deal? I seem to remember something about waiting until 6 months have passed. In any case, I think the Jackets would be able to work out the terms before he arrives, perhaps the pick is made conditional just in case.
