Arizona Coyotes should not claim Michael Stone, despite OEL injury

Former Arizona Coyotes defenseman Michael Stone is on waivers, but the team should avoid putting in a claim for him.

Team captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been listed day-to-day after the awkward hit into the boards by San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane this past weekend, leaving the Coyotes with some questions on their blueline for the immediate future.

The Calgary Flames today signed Stone to a one-year, $700,000 contract and immediately placed the 30-year-old defenseman on waivers with the purpose of sending him to the team’s taxi squad.
