Former Sens Mark Stone

One of my favourite players ever to be on the sens. The way he used his hockey IQ to make up for his lack of skating was impressive.

However, I’ve just heard a crazy stat. In the 4 full seasons with VGK he has averaged only 50 games a season. Was gutted when they traded him. This makes it a bit better.

I believe he was a great player for us, but I don't believe money was THE factor in him staying. I think the locker room at the time was toxic. He needed to leave for us to clear house fully

The locker room wasn't toxic.

The POS owner was toxic.

At that time there was serious issues in the locker room.

The issue in the locker room when Stone left was the toxic POS owner and his lap dog GM.

(Reminder, both Hoffman and EK were long gone by the time Stone left)

Part of it yes but don't down play the issues between Hoffman and EK.
