Stats wise, Voracek has done it for a lot longer. And he makes $1.25M less.
Similarly, Benn had had numerous PPG seasons before his big contract. At or near that mark since his second season, so he had a 7 year history of those stats.

Yeah, good points, but Benn is older and is unlikely to perform as well at the end of the contract as Stone is.
Stone has had 2 consecutive point per game seasons, and has never really been below a 60 point pace.
Not bad for someone who is only 26.
At the very least, it's hard to argue that they're not comparable.
There aren't many UFA signings for point per game wingers, so you can only be so picky in distinguishing the contracts.
And I've been praising Stone, but with all that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he produces less on Vegas than he did on Ottawa.
