I understand you guys are saying we shouldn't trade Stone for "magic beans" because 2nd/3rd/4th round draft picks only have a chance of working out but it is still worth it to get more kicks at the can, especially because Stone is terrible, overpaid, and in the way of Andersson.

Struggling? Terrible? I don't think either of those are accurate descriptors for Stone at all. Overpaid? Nope, he's definitely market value these days. He makes the same money Cory Sarich did years ago (inflation has hit hockey since then) and IMO brings as much or more than Sarich did.
He could certainly be moved but it wouldn't be because he's terrible or struggling or overpaid.
