Let’s go over some news and notes:
- George McPhee, you beautiful, beautiful man. Mark Stone is now property of the Golden Knights! [KOI]
- What should you know about Stone? I reached out to the folks over at Silver Seven for some insight. [KOI]
- Unfortunately, someone had to be dealt for Stone. And one of those players was Oscar Lindberg. In fact, it was his now former teammates who told him he’d been traded. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- While hockey is a business, don’t ever forget that these players are also human.
It’s a business. Unfortunately, some parts are harder than others. Lindberg still on the ice. Has no idea he’s been traded. #VegasBorn pic.twitter.com/cfRbiO7J5s
