Why is team’s defence so bad now??

No team has allowed more goals than the 77 surrendered by the Canucks, whose goals-against average of 3.67 is 30th among 32 teams, and whose 67.1 per cent penalty kill is the worst in hockey.
As Sportsnet analytics correspondent Adam Vingan reported last week, the Canucks’ defensive deterioration can be traced to the front of their net, where the share of shots coming from Vancouver's slot had plummeted from 11th-best last season to 28th this year, and the team's defence of slot passes had collapsed to 30th from fifth.

What happened to all the talks from late last year and throughout the off season about how our D would be potentially our saving grace. I haven't watched a single game but can somebody tell me from their eye test what seems to be the problem? Is our D actually playing ok but our forwards are doing a terrible job, mix of both or what?
