Very well put.
Creativity/unpredictability is key to an effective PP once it's establed possession in the zone which is its own thing. The less the defending team can anticipate and gane plan effectively to counter, the better your conversion rate is likely to be.
It pays to have a creative x-factor like Kuzzy
Watching the team pass around the diamond for years outside of whatever magic Gaudreau came up with was always a chore.
