I think he's one of the best D at keeping the puck in the offensive zone. He's decent at quarterbacking it from the back despite not taking too many shots.
Also it's hard to evaluate the set plays a PP has. If your coach considers a shot from the point on the PP, as a low scoring chance that gives the puck away. I think a lot of it has to do with the ability of getting pucks through, or having guys that are very good at deflecting pucks(like Pavelski)
