This is how they should line up on the powerplay......but they don't.
If you watch the WSH powerplay, Backstrom directs the entire show from the half-wall. It's artistry at it's finest.
If you watch the Tampa powerplay......same thing.
Give the puck to Gaudreau on the half-boards on his off-wing and let him do his thing....
Yeah, we don't have players the caliber that WSH/TB have but that doesn't mean our structure can't be the same.

To me this just sounds like you're trying to find a solution to something that's not even a problem. The powerplay has been working and is chugging along just fine. They had multiple grade A looks in the Minnesota game (credit to Stalock for coming up big).
The powerplay is working and Johnny is ripping it up to a tune of 1.375 points per game. The point of the powerplay is to score goals, not for Johnny to score goals. Why take the time to implement an entirely new system when ours is working?
