GENERALLY, there's a development method for offensive players requiring a certain number of puck touches per game. Puck touches give you confidence with the puck, confidence leads to scoring and so on.

Gaudreau gets puck touches, PLENTY of them, at 5-on-5. So they give PP time to lesser lights on the team (underclassmen usually) to get them puck touches.
