The trade was great given the circumstances. The signings were mistakes.
The potentially fatal part was just not accepting that the team's window to compete had already closed as soon as Johnny left and Tkachuk wanted out. Bringing in Huberdeau, Weegar, and then Kadri was actually a pretty impressive effort at trying to pry that window back open again for another season or two, but it's looking like it was a bit deluded. The window had closed. It was time to find new young guys to build around.
