Not talking about you, but honestly who cares if he has some defensive holes in his game.
You just can't teach this type of talent. You can teach defence, and get him to defend a bit better but a lot of his "defending" is going to come creating chaos in the offensive zone and having the puck on his stick.
Get him to stick check well and skate with this guy at the next level he will be fine.
Any defence should not come at the expense of his offence.
Even the best Makar makes mistakes, but his skating and ability to transport the puck out of danger make up for it. Every top dman will cough it up and get hemmed in.
