They can sign Stone and trade for another top 4 guy. One doesn't preclude the other.
Realistically, if you're trying to build a contender, Stone is a solid 5/6 guy who has that ability to competently step in as a top 4 guy. Ideally you have someone like Hamonic in the top 4 and Stone is holding down the third pairing with a young guy, ready to also step up in the case of injuries or line juggling.
