I don't think that we have seen enough of Mackey in the NHL yet, but judging from his history in the NCAA and AHL, he is probably the better overall defenseman if he gets enough ice to get used to the NHL speed. He has all of the tools and the hockey IQ to be a staple second or third pairing guy for a very long time.
Stone is decent in his own end, but the element that he brings to the table is definitely his shot. That adds a look to the defense that isn't there without him. (Andersson being the closest)
