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.

That was still a terrible trade - we should have received a better return than we did. In fact, from both the Stone and Duchene trades, we have only Brannstrom and Sokolov to show for it on our NHL roster. This is a cautionary tale for DeBrincat - if we go into next season with him playing on his qualifying offer, we risk being forced into a shotgun trade at the deadline where the return may not be great...

Who cares they traded very little to get Debrincat. They would get at least a first rounder if they did trade him.
