Gudbranson and Stone are going to split time as the number 6. Gudbranson will play against heavier teams and Stone will play against teams where is better offensive game will be more necessary.
I don't see much of a problem with this signing. Yes, of course we would all like a better overall player than Gudbranson, but he's a serviceable physical defender. Sometimes you do actually need size on the blueline. It's not like he's going to be playing more than 10 minutes a night every night. He'll be the #6.
