Definitely seems ironic. But last season the Hawks did post a 20% PP rate during Gustafsson’s career year. From his highlights and games I’ve seen, he looks to have a great shot and instincts to quarterback a PP.
One of the things that impressed me was his ability to use deception. He often uses fakes or hesitation moves to buy time or change angles / lanes. Think his tools will help the PP become more dynamic.
