This is Stone&#8217;s fourth contract with the Flames. The 31-year-old blueliner appeared in 22 games with the team in 2020–21, tallying four points (two goals, two assists) and averaging 16:05 of ice-time.
In 493 games over 10 seasons with the Flames and Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes, Stone has scored 128 points (33 goals, 95 assists) while averaging 18:45.
Stone had a slight renaissance season with Calgary in 2020–21, contributing 4.0 goals above replacement (according to Evolving-Hockey) after falling well into the negatives in each of the previous three campaigns.

Michael Stone is, at the very least, better than Erik Gudbranson. <a href="https://t.co/vXLD1iEA9Y">pic.twitter.com/vXLD1iEA9Y</a>

Stone has played parts of five seasons in Calgary. After being traded to the team in 2017, he signed a three-year extension with the club but was bought out in 2019 following a lengthy absence due to a blood clot.
He signed another, cheaper deal with the Flames that summer and has since signed two more league-minimum contracts in Calgary.
