Well, that's certainly the way to throw Anaheim into full rebuild mode and guarantee the Ducks a good ticket in the Wright/Bedard sweepstakes.
We trade three full NHL top-sixers for one NHLer, three prospects (one of whom has 75 games of AHL experience and the other two of which have never played a professional hockey game in North America), and three futures, the first two of which almost certainly won't turn into an NHL player until 2023-2024 (if ever).
I don't think such drastic measures are necessary. Anaheim isn't Buffalo or Columbus, requiring a virtual tear-down. If whoever we get at #3 in this year's draft turns into a winner, and if we manage to pick up one of the stray firsts floating around late in the round (perhaps using one of the players shown here), we could just let nature take its course and we should be fine.
