Stone would have been a dumb trade. Kane was a 1st, a 4th and a plug. The pick was 20th. Calgary’s was 29th (Pelletier). So you’d have to add.
So, no, he didn’t get one of those guys.

Again we don't know what was offered and when. Stop manufacturing these scenarios where we had to do this or that.
For all we know Winnipeg's offer wasn't on the table till last minute.
For all we know Columbus would value some random Flame higher than Roslovic.
It's all assumptions and they are just wrong to bring up.
I don't need to break down every deal that was made and play kids game in telling you how I think player X is better return that Y and why Z is too much to give up. All of those "thoughts' are just our assumptions.
Bottom line is that Treliving wanted to get a large top line player and failed to deliver. Why? Well, it's not for lack of opportunities.
