The Pens should make changes, but Malkin and Sutter have never looked anything other than terrible together. The duties of a center aren't wearing him down, it's the mere fact that he's playing playoff hockey on bum legs.
If he were with Sutter, the only things that would change is that he'd have fewer touches and his lack of speed would be an even bigger hindrance on the wing.
Change the wings around. Leave the superstar natural center at center.
The thing is, playoff Sutter seems to actually be a good player. Malkin, right now, is below par. I'm not saying it would work, but perhaps the dynamic would be different.
