If you watch Vegas every player is invested they all look like clones, where as Calgary's players couldn't be bothered. It is an ongoing problem that I suspect wont change unless the noxious entitlement gets dealt with.
I know some feel the team is not actually that bad, but as Sutter pointed out the team isn't very good especially when stacked up against other teams. We need to raise that bar and expectations a lot higher if we want to see a team that meets the standard. An elite center would be a good first step, either that or the players coming in have bring a lot more to the table.

I think changing 5 or 6 off the starting lineup with 1 or 2 coming from the top 6 would get closer to what you’re thinking we need.
If I were picking it would be:
Monahan
Nesterov
Ritchie
Nordstrom (already gone)
Simon
Lievo
If you needed another top 6 I’d add in Tkachuk.
