Value of: Mark Stone

[WesMcCauley]

I'll take that bet. He'll be re-signed at 6.5 X 7 IMO.

Dont see him signing for less than 7 million. He is one of the best twoway forwards in the NHL

Perhaps, I think it'll be in and around there.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

I think if he stays in Ottawa Stone will use Bobby Ryan's contract as the starting point for negotiations.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Since we're pillaging the Sens, how bad can we lowball you for Chabot?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I’m really sorry Sens fans have had to go through so much crap in one year, wouldn’t wish that on any team. Best case scenario is being able to somehow get the pick back from Colorado and dealing off the remaining assets to rebuild.

Would still be a long way to go, but White, Chabot, Brown, 4th overall, and next years pick is a good place to start.

What about Duchene and Stone?

Think they would be dealt for the rebuild.

Think they would be dealt for the rebuild.

Or maybe they both resign along with our captain ,and we retool with a pretty decent prospect base which we already have ....Funny how many seem to forget this

I don't think Karlsson's staying - which sucks for us, it really stings, but Duchene and Stone (I think) will stay and we'll retool with prospects and the core we have. I sincerely don't think the Sens need to burn it to the ground. Really no team needs to burn it to the ground these days, retooling is so much easier than it used to be.

 

[The3rd]

6.5-7 over 7.

Ottawa would be insane to let Stone go. He is an underrated sniper and about the only real asset they have left once Karlsson leaves.

Too bad the Jets are already loaded on the right side, it would be great to have the home boy back in Winnipeg. Then again, part of Mark Stone is permanently etched in Dustin Byfuglien's shoulder.

They would be insane to let him go, but who wants to sign longterm in Ottawa right now?

 

[Boud]

Stone is not going to be moved and will stay in Ottawa. One way or another Sens will need to pay some players to at least reach the cap floor if they trade Karlsson/Ryan. Has already stated he wants to stay in Ottawa and the management surely wants to keep him.

Next captain of the team if Karl is traded.

Fair enough, the both of you will have a better grasp on what the team should do and what the players want to do. I just figured trading Stone, Karlsson, and Duchene now would maximize value. If they are able to retain any of them then re-tooling might be the best option. After the last year with all of the drama all three may want to leave, but we won’t know until they are either traded or re-signed.

 

[SDBondra]

Isn't the guy an RFA? Seems like the perfect storm for an offer sheet.

 

[DRW204]

Doug Wilson should offersheet him just for the shits and giggles

 

[Volica]

You could probably get him for a 3rd if you call Dorion at the right time of day.

That sweet spot after breakfast, but not before his third cup of coffee. That's where dreams are made.

To me, it's all about Karlsson - and I think we lose him. Does Duchene want out after that? I really doubt it, I think he sees what his former team did - go from an absolute joke to a playoff team in a short period and want to be a part of the solution. But who knows...Stone should be a slam dunk to re-sign. Should be no problems there at all.

I guess...for Ottawa fans, it's time to get to know the new core without Karlsson. One that'll hopefully include Duchene and Stone - I really can't see why it wouldn't.

Again though, it's all about Karlsson. And it's very sad times in Ottawa. We've never lost anything like this, with the exception of Chara - and even then, Karlsson is in a league of his own. That's the terrible thing for Ottawa. Not even necessarily Melnyk, who can go roger himself and 100% not Mike Hoffman and not the pending contract situations of Duchene and Stone, it's all about losing a generational player. Now I'm gonna go myself to sleep.
