had two elite goaltenders (luongo / schneider) and traded them both for a prospect, an unproven goaltender and a third liner, no good draft picks to inject youth to an aging roster. traded for underachieving veterans with huge contracts (booth / ballard), and had questionable signings (sundin / garrison)
