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.

70pt pace but has never scored that much in a season. Injury prone player that is 6 years older and will likely cost more on a long term deal than Tkachuk will on his big extension.
Grass is not always greener. Tkachuk is a stud, future captain and elite player. We don’t trade him the talk that the Sens could build a package around an older pending ufa is lunacy.
