Don’t forget Karlsson

Take Brown out of the deal.

Pacioretty isn't waiving for Ottawa, Nor is Stone committing to Montreal either.

Pacioretty has no say. There's no NTC or NMC on his contract.

Not clear how this helps either team all that much. Stone is a RW and Pacioretty is a LW, but they're relatively similar players and each heading for UFA next year. Ryan is a better player than Shaw, so this is a contract move for Ottawa. But the Sens have a pretty low cap situation already, so it's not evident how this helps.
