It isn't a disaster yet. It easily can be. It depends what these guys become. Matthias gets more consistant, markstrom plays at an NHL level and horvat develops and we're happy. That doesn't happen? Then yeah, disaster.

You also need to consider the 6.18M$ reduction in CAP allocated to goalies, as a result of these trades. That can buy a useful free agent.
CAP for Luongo+Schneider was 9.33M$. CAP for Lack+Markstrom+15%Luongo is 3.15M$.
