Since for whatever reason, the management/ownership of the Arizona Coyotes are not in the running for top RIGHT-HANDED fee agent defenseman, Cody Franson to pair up with Oliver Ekman-Larsson, it looks like that honor will fall to Michael Stone. Stone played with OEL last season, and was amazed at his talent, and learned quite a bit about playing defense from the Swede.

Stone had a decent last season, collecting three goals and 15 assists while performing in 81 games. He almost averaged 22 minutes a game and that tells me that Head Coach Dave Tippett is confident in putting Stoner on the ice in almost any situation.
