Although there is a tendency to over-value Flames here, there is an equal tendency to undervalue them especially in the view of most recent events. Gaudreau is a bonafide game-breaker, Monahan is a top-20 center in the world, and I wouldn't trade Tkachuk period. In any deal. He has a lot more left to show IMO.
But Brodie + for Stone? Sure, you bet.
I'm going off of memory here but the only players on the Flames who have scored 70+ points since Iggy is Johnny and Hudler. What exactly are you expecting? Would Stone not compliment our top line perfectly?

If we can swing a deal round Brodie and Stone you pull the trigger, I agree.

PS Monahan is only a top 20 centre when it comes goal scoring, he lacks many aspects of his game to be true #1 centre in this league.
