Not because they don't like waiting, but because they need to add someone and the Stone situation moving slowly hurts teams that need to make an improvement.
If Stone isn't moved until late Monday, that leaves little to no time to move to a backup, and the backups may be gone at that point.
Similar to the Ryan Smyth deadline deal, they settled for a ****ty package at the end of the deadline because all the teams grabbed other players and they were left with few teams and offers.
I don't think think its going to affect Stones worth, but teams are 100% going to move to backups soon.
