marchment was a depth forward stuck behind a squabble of guys and went to one of the best environments in the league to go to for a player on the cusp of the nhl/underachieving player (see forsling/verhaeghe/bennett/wennberg, even montour/reinhart took massive steps in florida despite being established players)
brodie deserved his contract when he signed and has dealt with his father passing this year
tavares was offered 13+ from san jose and other teams, 11x7 was a discount free agent deal for a true 1C (while also quite literally being the greatest free agent signing in the history of the franchise)
as for kadri, shouldn't have made that trade, but understandable given he was a clear cut 3C on that roster behind matthews/tavares. imo made sense to move him for defensive/depth upgrade, just picked the wrong guy
