Rumor: Stone done with Ottawa? (UPDATE: Stone's statement in OP and post #116)

[Sweetpotato]

This was a REALLY strong denial though, and then the reporter totally backtracked, saying he was misinterpreted and making it clear he didn’t have reliable sources. Normal denials from players when they really do want out are much softer.

I’m a Leafs fan, not a Sens fan, so I have nothing vested in Stone staying with the Oilers, but this whole story screams “BS”.

man I wish XD

That's shocking !!!

I guess it isn't shocking that so called reporters make things up so they can see their name in the press ...... I guess.

 

[Newsworthy]

Can't blame him for wanting out.

So far this pre season he looks defeated to me. ​

 

[Mike Liut]

Love to see the Blues make a move for him. Just don’t know if they could afford to extend him with Pietrangelo, Schenn and Schwartz coming due soon.

So what? Karlsson ended up being traded after the deadline anyways. Most people (the ones posting here) are of the thought that players wouldn't want to be around the on-ice product and/or off-ice drama in Ottawa.

He was never going to be traded before the deadline, that's my point.

And again it's based on nothing but speculation from this board based on how people believe Stone perceives the situation. Kind of silly to say it isn't realistic for Stone to stay.

That's part of what this board is about.

Ottawa hasn't made it clear enough that they don't like trading their assets within the division/conference?

More importantly... You think Melnyk is gonna pay Bogo $12M over the next two years?!

At first I read this as "Boro," and I thought "ya, I could see him doing that."

Brian5or6 says Stone's significant other confirmed to him that the rumours aren't true.

 

[Korpse]

Certainly but it’s also counter productive to act like it’s so definitive.

Mark Stone tells Bruce Garrioch that he felt they were close on a long term deal. Is optimistic that they will be able to bridge the cap in January.
