Just shows the lack of faith and trust or just plain poor coaching from tocchet.
You don’t see Makar being sheltered, he took it to McDavid in 2002. It’s why Hughes is not him the same conversation as Makar.

Most teams look for favorable matchups any place they can get it.
When Chicago was winning Stanley Cups, it was largely due to favorable matchups.
Bolland would centre the third line and play the other teams best scorers.
Towes would then take on the other teams next best scoring line.
Kane's line would run amuck with great matchups.
You seldom see the both teams best scoring lines playing each other, unless their centres are both Selke worthy.
It really depends on your best players strengths.
