Treliving trading for two UFA's who were older and needed to be signed to big contracts was the mistake, and largely was done to placate the owners who insist on trying your best to win every year.
How different would this team look if Tkachuk was traded for a package including Necas?

I disagree, the trade itself even in hindsight is fine. The Huberdeau signing was bad even then (worse in hindsight). Reeked of desperation, even then.
The value of that trade is easily 3 first round picks (+ prospects) for Tkachuk (I think that's fair value).
