Report: Flames out on Mark Stone

The Calgary Flames are reportedly out of the Mark Stone sweepstakes, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Flames vice president of hockey operations Don Maloney confirmed to Sportsnet's Ryan Leslie that talks about a significant move fell apart late Sunday night, and Johnston reports that Maloney was referring to a potential trade for the Ottawa Senators' star winger.

Stone is one of the biggest names on this year's rental market. He's drawn interest from the Vegas Golden Knights, Boston Bruins, and Winnipeg Jets, but the Central Division leaders are expected to be out of the running after acquiring Kevin Hayes from the New York Rangers earlier Monday.

Stone's recorded 62 points in 59 games this season. He's been held out of the Senators' last three contests for precautionary reasons.
