Late luggage aside, Mark Stone had little to complain about Tuesday morning.
He was with a new organization that he said “checks off all the boxes.” He was set to play his first game in eight days after being scratched three times while the Ottawa Senators worked on trading him.
And after plenty of speculation about his future, Stone was secure knowing he’ll soon sign an eight-year extension with the Golden Knights for a reported $9.5 million average annual salary.
“I don’t want to see my face on TV for awhile unless it’s for scoring goals,” Stone said.
