Tkachuk adds a unique element, but on a per player vs player argument, it's hard to argue Stone isn't better than Tkachuk in my opinion. Forget contract, RFA, etc. just pure on-ice contribution today.
Multiple point-per-game seasons now, a career 305 points in 362 games (70 point pace pro-rated). And he does that while being one of, if not the, best defensive wingers in the game. Nothing against Tkachuk, but Stone's a hell of a player.
