well if your goal was acquiring top end talent, you have more then met your goal.
Breaking down the deals....
Trade 1: I know there is a lovefest with Kuz but for me, he holds very little value until he puts on an NHL sweater. He has been talking about coming over to the NHL for a while now and swears he will come over after this season but talk is cheap, ask my girlfriend. Until he gets here, his value is severely depressed. It worked out for you though because if he was playing, there is no way you could have gotten him this cheap. And since if looks like you can sit on him, nicely done.
Trade 2: I love this trade for you. At first I was worried that you gave up a goalie which always seems tough to do but you got two guys that I consider to be unquestionable studs. Granlund easily takes the place of Staal for you and you have Bernier sitting on your bench. Overall, I think you did really well even if you did sell low on Flower. But I think his days could be numbered. Never really been impressed with him overall.
Nice work dude.
