I do think Sam Bennett was a core member of this team who requested to leave. Brodie left by his own choice when the team who tried to trade for him a year earlier came calling with a richer offer.
Gio gone to Seattle as expected thanks to the stellar play of Chris Tanev who looks to be a core piece on the blueline. Markstrom was also added to that core last offseason.

I still think Tanev + Markstrom is superior than what the Flames have lost.
I don't really count Bennett in there, as that was it's own debacle that occurred independently of any free agent signings.
