As much as we want to blame the coaches, this is on the core leadership on the team, they're the ones that have to be demanding and urging greater efforts.
The biggest shock that they could do is strip Gio of the captaincy, and I'm not sure that I'm there, but I've coached and played enough sports to know that its the veteran core group that drives the team.
After the high of the Edmonton win, this is definitely a low.
And no the calls to trade Johnny are silly, first of all, we're not going to get great value from him with his struggles this year. Second of all, its not time to rebuild.
This team needs leadership from somewhere, and this is professional hockey there should be some kind of self motivation happening from the players, but its not.
This team should be far better then it is.

Gaudreau will still have massive trade value despite his struggles
Trading him does not equal rebuilding, not sure why people assume that. It’s a terrible assumption
