The whole point is you get a guy at full speed vs 4 near stationary players. There is a reason why everyone uses it.
The issues with the PP are when they get in the zone.

I don’t understand why you need the deep drop pass to get a player moving at full speed. That just doesn’t make sense. And seems to me Flames used it a ton last night, more than other teams typically do.
They weren’t great at securing the zone, nor were they great once they had it. Lindholm in particular seemed to pass up some shooting chances. There were some bad passes and not great movement. Despite all that, there seemed to be some skill there.
