The RH/LH shots need to be this way so one timers can happen without the puck needing to cross the player's body. Gulutzan/Cameron did not know this. It also increases the odds you're on the forehand when passing back to the D. It's why Ovechkin sits in his office on the left of the PP.
I like Tkachuk down low as well.

I like the player choices and I’m excited that it feels like the flames have plenty of options up front to choose from to fill out two powerplay units. Guys like Brodie, Andersson, Stone, Jankowski, Eat Bread, Frolik, and Foo are still good options that could work on the powerplay if injuries happen or if the powerplay needs a different look.
I’m curious to see lindholm’s utilization on the powerplay. From watching highlights of him over the last season, it seems like he is used as a net-front presence/down-low guy just like Tkachuk. He seems really good at screens at deflecting pucks as well. It was mentioned using Lindholm on his off-wing for one timers... not sure how good his one-timer is but it might just be an opportunity he hasn’t had yet. If not, it might be better to have Czarnik on the top unit if his shot is better. Either way, it’s nice to have added more skill to the top six.
