From what I know, Stone wants to come here. He also would be interested in signing here long term.
We have a ton of talented forwards up front. We lack what Stone is up front. A big bodied possession winger who is really good in his own end. I think the Jets would be willing to sacrifice one of the other wingers in the off season if it means they keep Stone long term.
Mind you all that depends if they can get him and if he gels with this team.
Could he be signed at the same time as the trade, or does it have to wait until the off season?
I bet Stone is just a rental and walks as a FA at end of season.If we sign Stone long term, I would find out what kind of players/prospects/picks we would get back for Trouba and Laine.
Sending them both to Florida with a nice return coming back would work.
Trouba gets to be close to his woman and Laine can play with his buddy.
Trochek, Huberdeau, a 2nd and Ekblad come over to the Jets.

I think the Sens really really want Roslovic
If the Sens want Ros, I say the 1st becomes a 2nd or 3rd, or maybe a Chabot type player plus a 1st, a couple of Stanley, Comrie, Petan, Perrault, Charoit, Kuli , and maybe a conditional 2nd are includedI think the Sens really really want Roslovic

I'm encouraged. The thought of having Scheif driving first line & Stone driving second is mighty enticing. Laine, they can put him in the PB for all I care right now. Guy is going to be good someday, but he really needs to get his head screwed on before anything happens. No C-man is going to fix Laine's problems right now.

Roslovic for Stone rental seems almost like straight up deal, maybe small add for the Jets. Could add a 1st conditional on re-signing.
I wouldn't move Rosie for Stone. Terrible move.
As a rental? Neither would I. But if he was signed to a contract (sign and trade?), I'd seriously consider it.
If he's willing to take league minimum on his next contract and the Oilers take Petan in exchange....
...or Kulikov?Yeah but we'd still have to move out another winger to make room for his extension, on top of likely letting Myers walk AND trading Perreault. I don't think gutting our team is worth Stone at this point. We either get him for a typical rental price and then try and sign him from there or we don't get him at all.
...or Kulikov?
I think we can replace Kulikov with a vet Dman and get similar results/impact, plus they'd be cheaper. days of having a near-10M third pairing is almost over hahaI don't think we can afford to lose anyone on D. We have wingers, we don't have defencemen. With Kuli out you will see Morrow full time.
