I think the Tkachuk trade was good, but media kept saying along the lines that Calgary didn't win that trade unless they signed said players, and Tre buckled.

I think you’re right except for the ”buckled” under pressure from media part. I think Tre was smart enough to not be driven by the media. That was Tre’s own chosen management strategy to lock up Huberdeau long term, plus or minus pressure from ownership. And same with getting rid of Monahan and the 1st to get Kadri on an atrocious long term contract.
