In exchange they gave up an asset who only has value to an organization that thinks it's going to win anything in the next 3-4 years.
That is the definition of a rebuilding trade.

This is not a rebuilding trade. It is a Canucks team that took Florida's leftovers just to escape this situation. Markstrom will never be anything special, and Matthias has been nothing short of underwhelming. In fact, the only actual prospect in the deal went Florida's way.
