Today, Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon announced in a press conference that Stone will be sidelined for an extended period due to the injury he suffered last night against the Predators.
Stone has a history of significant injuries, but he typically manages to recover in time for the playoffs. In the meantime, his absence could provide the team with some salary cap relief as they consider potential additions before the trade deadline.
The exact duration of Stone's absence is unclear, but the team may place him on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) to free up cap space. However, they'll need to make room to bring him back if he recovers before the end of the regular season.
