The Flames are going to be buyers on trade deadline, but who they’re targeting is a bit of a mystery. Defensive help? A top six forward? A bottom six forward? Goaltending insurance?
One name keeps coming up, at least among the fans: Mark Stone. The Senators RW has been a hot trade target for a number of teams, and may be the best available option this trade deadline. With almost no supporting cast (his two most common linemates have fewer points combined than he does), he’s putting up another excellent season and could be dynamite on a team that can actually surround him with talent.
