Mark Stone Agrees To 8-Year Extension With Golden Knights, Did Senators Get Enough?

The panel looks at the Mark Stone extension in Vegas, wondering why the Senators weren’t able to get more value for their top asset heading into the day.

Erik is a great prospect, but Vegas really needed a top scorer, as scoring has been an issue for them. And they got it.

This explains why Ottowas team is the worst in the league

What's up with this comment section underestimating the value of Brannstrom? Yall acting like he gonna be a top 6 D.

[paulhudson]

turris, hoffman, karlson, stone, zibanejad, brassard, wideman, dzingel, duchene - these are just some pretty solid players! What kind of rebuild is that if you lost all valuable parts of the team??

[goalie]

Stone is a solid player.
These 8 year deals have a way of not working out for the team though.

[skankhunt.]

That moment when Anaheim received more for Brendan montour then ottawa got for mark stone

[DWAC.]

The tank show in Ottawa for Alexis Lafreniere has begun lol

[erikmerced]

I thought they only wanted to be bad for the rest of this year. The Sens are a worse organization than the Oilers. Wtf were they thinking

[jeremyruch]

Why do Canadian teams seem to always get shafted?! It always seems like it's way harder for them to make big moves.

Look Branstrom might be great. He's def a great prospect but he's unproven in the NHL. For such a pivotal leader of the Sens locker room, desired future captain, a top player in the league and our top Points/Goals and Assist leader. I'd of wanted a lot more than a 2020 2nd round, a prospect and then a guy (Lindberg) with 5 seasons in the NHL where he didn't even break 30 points. So we just liquidating assets now Sens?

[soroush]

I agree Ottawa lost considering stone resigned. But a “good” prospect ? Branstrom is the best dman prospect in the world. Better than Hughes and I’m a canucks fan.

[rynx]

We may look back on this trade thinking differently depending on what Brannstrom turns into.

[Sam]

Lol that contract is atrocious if they wanted to sign him for that AAV I would have just waited out till he became a ufa where he is limited to 7 seasons. He is not worth 9.5M/season (even before you consider the tax breaks which makes this look like it is 11m/year in say Toronto). Lol Stone is not worth what John Tavares is making.

[hebber]

Sounds like Ottawa held out for more, teams backed out and they panicked. When there's a time deadline and teams don't have to deal with you, you may want to take what you can if you've exhausted all offers.

[Nxrthluvsyou]

Ottawa got one of the best prospects in the league btw

[hockeyandsoccerever]

I know ottawa fans hate us but this is unfair. If you guys become leafs fans i wont judge

[donkeyranger]

Ottawa owed M.Stone after the horrible season & the Karlsson/Hoffman debacle. Considering cap space & age, Ottawa made a good rental deal as Brannstrom will be awesome. The 8 year extension was out of their hands. What's the difference if it's done now or July 1st? He got placed onto a cup contender in the other conference & more $$$ for the young guns. Ottawa had to protect themselves for next summer's expansion draft as well.

[garciajones]

Why is Brian burke even aloud to chip in his input ?

[greeniesdentalchewsofficia]

Colorado gets brassard, and Ottawa is selling and will have a good chance at a lottery pick
