I would like to know who prescribed you medication that leads you to believe that Stone will return next year *and* there will be new ownership.
Back to the subject (though let me know, I got a vacation coming up in a week and would loved to be spaced out in positivity on a beach), I don't see Brady deciding to take off. His dad didn't walk when Winnipeg was cold and terrible. He played his ass off, team got relocated, continued to play his ass off, then got traded to St. Louis where he eventually stopped playing his ass off and instead let his ass get big. But point being, he didn't try to get out of Winnipeg when it was clear there was no future for hockey in Winnipeg. He still suited up and hoped for the best. I'm sure his sons see the game the same way.
