Whoever acquires Mark Stone will win the Stanley Cup

I want the islanders to peruse him hard on July 1st.

I read ya loud and clear

Imagine a line of Marchand-Bergeron-Stone...

With Stone's future (seemingly) nearing an end in Ottawa let me be the first to say that whoever acquires Mark Stone will win the Stanley Cup this season (assuming he leaves Ottawa).

He is an absolute gamer who is born for playoff hockey, one of the best takeaway players of all time, solid defensively, near PPG player on one of the worst teams in the league, and a leader who wants absolutely nothing more than to win: seriously he celebrates when his team scores from the bench harder than the guy who actually scored the goal (seriously).

Please feel free to post in what will be an epic prediction thread.

Why is Stone even in play. Sens should relocate because they are about to give Duchene and Stone and they already got rid of Karlsson, Turris, Zibenajad, Lehner etc

13 points in 27 career playoff games = born for playoff hockey

Lol

Location has nothing to do with it. Ownership is the problem.

Whoever acquires him still won’t be Tampa Bay. They’re so much better than any other team right now.

Things can change especially in the playoffs, but I wouldn’t bet against Tampa right now, no matter what other teams do.

Why doesn't some rich person buy team from Melnyk?

Because Melnyk refuses to sell

Yeah cause the line of Marchand-Bergy-Pasta really sucks.

Agree. TB are the team to beat this coming PO's. Stone will help a Jets/Preads/Flame team but I don't think they will be good enough even with a Stone type player added to their team to beat the Bolts in the SC final. That said the Bolts need to win it all this year, if they don't then it is a major failure for the organization.

We really like it when Stone plays in Winnipeg.

Welcome home Stone.

 

[pi314]

Because he definitely helped Ottawa to win the cup.

I don't know who the OP is, but I love the confidence. Cheers to you.

That doesn't make any sense.

How is the solution to shitty ownership to move the team?

Literally has zero logic attached to it.

 

[marinoni1983]

He wasn't the ppg monster he was now back then tho. And subban broke his hand for one of those playoffs

Broke his hand lol.. I played golf with Mark a month after the incident and he smashed a couple drives over 300 yards, he didn't break his hand that's a lie.

 

[Peggy]

No. I dont think Stone is the answer to the jets problems

Oh whoops the senators / nhl/ sportnet site said he fractured his wrist my mistake for them lying to me . Should have went golfing with him four years ago

 

[Fatty McLardy]

I've seen better playoff warriors that Stone could only dream of being, not win the stanley cup. So no...

I agree. Its cup or bust.

Typically you’re correct, but there hasn’t been a team that’s been as dominant in the regular season as TB for a long time.

 

[Stickpucker]

I think the cup winner comes from the East. If he goes to an ecf contender I can see it.

Some teams have already burned their first so not sure how likely that is.

 

[Hoek]

Issue: Presidents Trophy winners "never" win the cup.
Solution: Forfeit enough games to lose the trophy, then you are guaranteed to win the cup.

 

[Tofveve]

I hope Calgary acquires him.
