McDavid is on another level than anyone else on the ice right now.
The more space he has, the deadlier he is.
I say....play it straight and let him wheel with 5 defenders out there....problem is, they havent been playing as a unit while defending when he is on the ice.
Giving him more space on the PK is simply a recipe for getting hurt .....and i believe last night proved that...no?
Maybe they go back to the future and get him a shadow like Bob Johnson used to employ.
IIRC Neil Sheehy was pretty good at that against Gretzky...wonder what he is doin these days?
