Panthers did it because they didn't want to sign long term contracts with Huberdeau and Weegar based on their ages, and decided that signing the much younger Tkachuk was a better bet. I doubt they thought that it would immediately make them better, they were looking more down the road.
And for all the comments about their teams, both teams are 2 games above .500 and Florida has the better goal differential.
