MICHAEL STONE - Defenseman - 29 - $.700MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/25/19
Standing three inches above six feet tall, Mike Stone has exceptional size for an NHL defenseman. That size is where he gets most of his defensive value on the ice, as he lacks the puck skills and skating ability to be a puck moving defenseman, and he also isn't smart enough to be a true shutdown defenseman. Stone can dole out big hits, fight in front of the net, and win board battles with relative consistency. His value comes when he's paired with a puck mover and he can use his size to get his partner the puck and start a rush. His offensive game is unrefined, and even at his best he struggles to put up double digit points. If he can stay healthy, Stone can be a decent physical #5 for Calgary.
