Johnson, Martin, Phaneuf, Green. Does Michael Stone command a premium over those guys?

Yes. Want to know why? Because 1) He's not a pending UFA, has a reasonable 2 years at 3m per after this season.
2) He's capable of playing on the 2nd pairing.
I'm sure he could command a decent return. Not a 1st rounder by any means, but something good for sure.
