Personally I just think they are lacking the driver compared to last year. Same coaching staff over seeing both seasons of man advantage.
They don't generate enough (ranked 17th in xGF60)
They don't finish well (ranked 24th in G60)

To me it's been more that it feels like they really aren't leveraging Huberdeau and Lindholm enough on the PP.
Before they changed the units up you had both Lindholm and Huberdeau down low generally. And the PP running through Kadri, Toffoli, and Andersson.
And honestly I'm just not sure how that made sense to anyone. Huberdeau as the passer and Lindholm as the bumper/shooter felt like a no brainer.
Now the players need to execute too but the set up has felt off all season.
