Its one area of his game they (management/multiple coaches) have been on him about for years and its one of the reasons he can't translate his game to success in the nhl. Laziness and awareness (IQ) have plagued him and when he lines up as a C, it gets exposed repeatedly.

He skates back with no power, covers no man, goes to the wrong side of the ice, and a goal is scored. It's a Neal-quality effort, and in a game where he has an opportunity to really hammer something nice together, he just craps the bed. So, yeah. Bench.
