My view on the D core is that it is more appropriately balanced. They pinch and contribute to the offense, but they aren't just about the offense.
At the same time, the forwards are producing, but IMO they are also playing better team defense at the same time. I would argue that, since the PIT game, Monahan and Gaudreau have played the best defensively that I have ever seen from them.
Good teams play well - offensively and defensively.
