All that being said, he's not awful on the PP. I just agree with jiri (that is jiri right?) Johnny's skills are best suited for transitional play.

Johnny’s skills should translate to a PP though. Vision, soft hands, accurate passing. The player and coaches need to figure this out although it’s not like he’s bad on the PP as you say. Other than not having a hard shot, his skills should work.
