It's just not sustainable over a long season & playoffs and you'll see them get exposed on lazy backchecks once they're tired.
I don't think McDavid is incapable of 2 way play; but it's not going to happen with how they strategically overplay them.

Basically this.
Its the double-edged sword. If you want to play McDavid and Draisaitl 30 minutes a night, a good chunk of that will be coasting to rest.
If you want them to back-check, and they're both good skaters, but you'd have to cut their ice time by like 10 minutes a night.
