Through three games Stone has recorded six points (two goals, four assists) with three of those points coming on the power play for the Vegas Golden Knights. He has been dominant and this could just be the start of things to come.
Vegas knew what they were getting when they made an aggressive move for Stone at last year’s Trade Deadline – an elite two-way forward who can excel in both zones and produce huge clutch plays in big moments when it really counts.
That’s why they parted with high-end prospect Erik Brannstrom – who has cracked the Ottawa Senators roster this year – and a second round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, and that’s why they signed Stone to an eight-year $9,500,000 contract as soon as he arrived in Sin City.
