Vegas was always on Mark Stone's mind. And the rest of the league knew it. It all conspired to minimize the Senators’ marketplace ahead of the 2019 trade deadline. PierreVLeBrun on how the Golden Knights got their captain at a bargain price.
teams believed at the time that Stone had set his sights on Vegas, where he would be reunited with general manager Kelly McCrimmon from their Brandon Wheat Kings WHL days.
And this much I know to be true: Newport Sports, which represents Stone, told teams who were interested in Stone before that trade deadline in February 2019 that they wouldn’t talk contract until 1) the Senators gave them permission, obviously, but also 2) there was at least the conditional framework of a trade in place. That was Newport’s way of having some control of the process, which was smart. But it also served to scare away some interested teams from making their best pitches to Ottawa.
Again, I think there might have been two other teams Stone would have talked to, but clearly Vegas was always a top option.
