Can someone clarify what the priority of the team is?

Is it to cover their man where ever that "man" goes?

It appears to me that they get assigned someone and are responsible to chase him around. If that is the #1 priority I think they are achieving their assignment. I see players all over the ice beside or close to their check.

When the defense do get a hold of the puck where are they supposed to pass it to? The forwards are checking their assignment which means a pass to the foward has a fifty fifty chance to go to a Cap or get picked off by an opposing player .
