I think it’s also some to do with Ekholm and Kulak too being leaders as well. Whether they can help Klingberg who is defensively challenged I dunno.

You don't need to be an Oilers fan to know a terrible defensive d-man is not what they need at all. It's a great way for them to make winning more difficult in the playoffs though so I'm all for it.
If the coaching staff is so great then why did Bouchard get walked like a pylon a couple days ago? They've had lots of time to work with him and he's still really bad defensively.
