How much cycling does the first unit PP really do? Not that much. What they really need to do is utilize the full skillset that each player is capable of. Monahan as the trigger guy is not utilizing all his strengths whereas for Ferland, offensively, he's more specialized and should be used for his shot. The first unit PP has become very stagnant and it's because it has become very predictable. Changing out Ferland for Brouwer from Chiasson still doesn't change the fundamental problem with that PP unit.
