Its crazy to trade top five(or top 4 defensemen) roster players for a rental like Stone, the only way you trade for Stone is on a conditional pick basis similar to how San Jose traded for Kane last year.
You trade the roster players that cover the price of a rental, which would be players lower down the Roster, then you add conditional picks if he signs in the summer. There is really no way of knowing in advance wether he signs in Calgary in June or July.
