So many rumors around Stone its ridiculous.
As crazy as it sounds and im sure everyone will rake me over the coals on this one, but Tampa is trying to get Stone AND Ceci in a package.
All the big hitters that have been mentioned before are in on Stone and Duchene. Jets, Nashville, Tampa etc.
I will say it does feel like for some odd reason more teams in on those two guys then there ever really was in on Karlsson.
Ya that is crazy but if we break it down...
1st 2019/2020 (they don’t have their 1st in 2019 - it’s conditional in last years NYR deal) - so we could put the same condition then the Karlsson deal.
Sergachev (currently playing 3rd pair RD - which Ceci would replace)
Raddysh
Stephens
Conditional 2nd (if they don’t win the cup- the 2nd goes to NY so basically the reverse of the 1st round pick above.)
Callahan (retained)
Would have to be a substantial package.
Because I’m sure Jets or Vegas could outbid. Also I personally think it’ll get too rich for Tampa and they may just settle for Ceci alone.
Also.... I rather see Stone on the Jets but man if he goes to Tampa ... Toronto doesn’t stand a chance and would be awesome to listen to Leafs fan when they lose 4 straight in the 2nd round. Lol
