It is simply overdue to move on from Johnny and Monny. Talented but too small and not willing/able to play the tougher style needed for playoff success. They both fade when the games get big.
Bennett should not have played again after the "looking for a change of scenery". A TEAM with a solid core, pride and clear identity would not have tolerated that attitude in the locker room. Trade him now for whatever you can get.
I'll leave Gio alone because it is just age catching up with him.
The team chemistry does not seem to be right and hasn't for a long time. It's addition by subtraction like when the Oilers needed to move out Hall and then Eberle to change the atmoshpere around the team. Not that they were magically better but it seemed to get them more focused on team hockey rather than acting like a bunch of overpaid spoiled brats.
