He was really strong with the Flames 2016-17 just prior to signing his UFA contract. He did not perform as well in 2017-18. He did not make himself important on a team that finished 11 points out of the playoffs.
Connor Brown is signed for 2.1 x 2. Why would the Leafs take on salary for the Flames #5 d-man?

Stone is top 4 on the Leafs, Brown is a 3rd liner on the Leafs with lots of depth coming up the pipeline. Stone is also more reliable than Gardiner and Zaitsev at times. He'd be a good fit on the Leafs
