The trade everyone was anticipating today has finally happened. The Ottawa Senators have sent Mark Stone to the Vegas Golden Knights, in exchange for Erik Brannstrom, Oscar Lindberg and a 2nd round pick.
Stone was originally drafted by the Sens in 6th round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and has become one of the NHL’s biggest success stories since then. With his skating being the biggest knock against him at the draft tables, his hard work shovelled away any concern, quickly turning himself into an NHL superstar.
