Who am I referring to? That McDavid guy is a pretty terrible defensive player. Draisaitl is worse than Monahan in that regard. Matthews is poor defensively, so is Kuznetsov and that's just off the top of my head.

Bennett's backchecking was miles ahead of Jankowski's, and he was playing wing. He actually covered for our defensive specialist quite a bit.
