One year, $7.35M.

 

[MardyBum]

7.35.

Does this take him to UFA, or one more RFA year?

 

[DRW204]

7.35.

Does this take him to UFA?

yes

 

[Finnish your Czech]

They should chisel this contract in stone lol haha

 

[Ivan13]

feel bad for Sens fans, one year contract means he is as good as gone.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Stone can now be signed to an extension at any time, rather than having to wait until January 1st. Plus arbitration’s are never good for a player-team relationship.

Nevertheless, interested to hear how the very large anti-Sens crowd spins this as a bad move.

I thought all one year deals result in extensions not being eligible until July 1st. Jan 1st not July

He's not going to stay though....

And you're right unless I'm misremembering something, can't really pull out the CBA right now to check.

Bolded is false

Karlsson, Duchene, and Stone all UFA at the same time without a 2019 1st rounder and without the finances to sign them all. I can’t think of a GM that had a tougher year than what Dorion is about to have. Reminds me Buffalo with Drury, Briere, and Vanek.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Stone, Karlsson, Duchene, Ceci all gone after this season

 

[Leafs87]

They gave him almost identical money to Ryan. Weird that they chose to have Karlsson, Duchene and Stone all UFAs the same year. Only advantage is they can now trade him

[OmniSens]

I can live with that... I do think he'll resign afterwards.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Look at that smile, that is the smile of a man who knows no matter what, he's getting paid next summer.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

I guess if you're going to give away a lottery pick, you might as well have three assets to turn in 1st round picks + during the coming season.

 

[Drew311]

He's as good as gone.

 

[Stand Witness]

He is getting paid massive next season, he probably would have settled with a 1 year deal at essentially nothing. Win-win for Stone as long as it was a 1 yr deal

 

[Flukeshot]

I can't believe the Sens put themselves into a 1yr situation. Do they really want to go through negotiations again in January when they'll have even less leverage? They have also limited his trade value by having him as a pending UFA.

I really don't get it.

 

[NobleSix]

lmao Stone is as good as gone.

We dont need to spin anything. Just use actual facts instead of making things up. Stone cannot sign a new deal with Ottawa until January 1st.


It doesn't get anymore obvious that Stone wants out then this. He and Karlsson are as good as gone next summer. And what's even more funny is it appears the Sens dont really care as long as they are competitive this year and ensure that the pick they send Colorado isn't in the Bottom 5. Best part about it is even with the core they have now that pick still stands a good chance of being in the Top 5 anyway.
