For an extended Mark Stone...oh, I'd try and sell Ottawa hard on a picks heavy deal:

To OTT: Frolik, 2019 1st round pick, 2020 1st round pick, 2020 2nd round pick (or pull the 2nd and put Dube in it's place if Ottawa so desired)

To CGY: Stone

I'd do this fully knowing that we'd be going to the draft this summer to recoup a 1st and a 2nd by trading TJ Brodie.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Stone
Bennett - Jankowski - Neal

Yeah, I believe that forward depth could win a Stanley Cup.
The Sens will look for more than that - that is essentially two late first round picks and a salary dump. I think that there are other teams who would offer up more than that for Stone, especially if he had an extended contract.

The Sens are in a position where they will want as many good young players as possible right now and if the Flames were to make a pitch at Stone I think that the package would likely include Bennett, Andersson and a first round pick.
