Mark Stone is a top 6 RWer who is on pace to surpassing his best season (rookie season) this year but had a slight decrease in his preceding 2 seasons after that rookie campaign. He is a valuable piece no doubt and would instantly make this team better ~ but in the same breath Dougie Hamilton is a cornerstoner D who has played nearly 100 games more than Mark Stone at this point in their careers and is more than a year younger than him. Dougie has also bested each of his NHL season point totals every year and is currently on pace to closely matching his career year 50 point campaign last year...
I don't really see the 'wow' in your post when considering Ottawa not wanting to give up a top 6 RW for a top 2 D in Dougie ~ their values are similar and some could argue either way that one carries more value than the other.
