Do you really think guys like Patrick Kane, Stamkos, Girouix, etc are told to be "solid in all 3 zones". No they are told to score. These guys are defensively strong because they play so much offense that the other team struggles to get into the other teams zone.

For guys like baertschi, a good defense should stem from an excellent offensive zone attack.
When your best players and leaders don't compete in all 3 zones, we get what we've had here the last 5 years.
