1. Move Bennett, 960 is right, lose the deal if you have to, move him.
2. Be honest about the character makeup of the room. If that means moving a Monahan or a Giordano, move him. Be ruthless.
3. Be prepared to play the young guys and lose. Effort and commitment matters.
4. Start healthy scratching top guys if the don't play. If Tkachuk is pouting put him in the rafters for a game or five.
Changes have to happen. Geoff, his team, and Tre should be on a call this AM building a plan.
This series, and especially last night, demand an immediate response.
Saturday night has the potential to be a ####ing train wreck. I'm seriously considering not even turning the game on. I don't want to watch the Oilers put up an 8 or 9 on the Flames, and that's realistic at this point.

The last thing you want is Treliving making those moves. Could set the franchise back half a decade. Get through the year and identify who you want making those moves or pull a Pittsburgh and find the right guy to make those moves this year. Asking Brad to blow up the team he spent 7 years making and expecting a different result is not going to be a successful approach IMO.
