The first PP unit really needs a big shot from the point or a more heavier presence down low. The Washington PP for years were sitting around the 25%-30% mark because they had a great down low threat as well that forced the opposition to respect the potential for a down low play.
The player down the hash marks should actually be used as playmaker and passer instead of a screen because Versteeg, Gaudreau and Brodie have muffins for shots and don't score enough from where they're currently situated. What we really need is a back door play option where Versteeg or Gaudreau can sneak in from the flanks and score from in close.
