Irrelevant really. When Stone is scoring at pretty much the same clip and is on a worse team and younger? Plus, as mentioned, he is a better 2 way player.

Also, Stone doesn't have a scoring title

Again irrelevant, its about the numbers.
Also Benn signed his deal when the cap was lower taking up 12.7% the cap
If Stone were to want 12.7% of the upcoming cap, its 10.5M. Is he going to settle for 2M less per for 7 or 8 years?

Benn's Art Ross was reported by The Athletic's Sean Shapiro as one of the big sticking points of the two sides' contract negotiations.

Im thinking the bigger sticking point was wanting more than 9.5 a year to begin with.
It simply isnt realistic in Calgary when all the other things have to be taken into account...he aint a long term player here.
