It's the job of the PP team to keep control of the puck and to keep the cycle flowing in the offensive zone. If the team being penalized breaks up that cycle and sends the puck back to the awarded teams' zone, then they are executing their job correctly. The PP team would be performing their job poorly. Being shorthanded is penalty enough.
We've seen both dominant PP's and PK's. There's nothing broken about it at the pro level.
