There's no way a team is this bad in the NHL. This has to be purposeful. It just has to be.

Yup, just expect failure, that way you won't be disappointed. Oilers mentality.

You have to remember that it's a forward in that position, not a defencemen. Even the best defensive forwards struggle without a stick to cover wide.
It's very, very easy to walk around a forward who is standing still or skating towards you.

But even easier when a forward isn't there. I just think you're fundamentally underestimating the utility of a player simply occupying space and closing gaps.

Yeah, it's easier, but the alternative is equivalent to walking around 2 small pylons.
Much more effective to quickly skate the the bench and pick up a stick from a trainer and turn back. Takes 3 seconds.

I love that Brodie has blossomed into a no. 1 defenceman on this team.
