Those were all declining assets that the team held onto too long, supporting a core that was too old.
Johnny is in his prime and the core is mostly in their prime, other than Gio.
Very different situations.
The fact that they waited too long to move Iginla does not mean that every asset lost (Hamonic and Brodie, for example, if lost) is the same mistake
