D zone coverage isn’t that hard to teach. Yet time and time again the opposing team has a man wide open around the hashmarks in front of our goalies. Yet the goalies are the problem? We can’t generate 5 on 5 goals with our perimeter play. Power play is ok but not pure fire like last year. D zone coverage is brutal.
Personally I think they a coach that actually will bench players when they make the same mistake time and time again would help. Gaudreau & Huberdeau were both benched but our golden boys never are held accountable. And apparently never will be. We are last effing place so why can’t they be benched? Is it going to make the team worse? They already ARE the worst!

Did Gaudreau & Huberdeau's benchings turn them around?
We've talked about this a ton lately on here. I believe that an obvious benching is more about a coach trying to make himself the story, than it is about player improvement. The fact is, it's not going to change anyone's game to "watch a few shifts". That's not what drives improved attention to detail and it's not going to make anyone mistake free.
If McDavid is injured and needs more time off, then the Oilers should probably give him that time. If he's healthy enough to play, well, we aren't making the team better not playing him. Ditto for Draisaitl. Same for Bouchard.
Given that the Oilers still have almost no goals from depth players, and I don't think they have more than one or two without one of 97, 29, or 93 on the ice it seems really unlikely that benching one of those guys is going to help us win any hockey games.
