I think Duehr will be on PP2 at some point, he has a really good one timer and he showed it a couple of times already. He should also be able able to gain the zone on the PP. With Duehr being a one time threat on the left it would open up space for Coronato shot on the right flank.
There are good pieces for both PPs but it feels like it is just missing something to be actually dangerous.

I really do believe that this team is missing a defensemen that can efficiently run a high end PP unit. I love Rasmus as a player, but he simply does not have the ability to process and execute plays at a high enough rate of speed. He also struggles to provide different shot angles and passing lanes due to a lack of explosiveness in his first few strides. Watching Dahlin play last night really illustrated that. Now, in saying that, we also don't have any other better options as we stand here today.
Jeremie Poirier has that dynamic ability and creativity that you'd want back there, but he's just not ready yet. Kylington also has some of those traits you'd want, but again, he's not currently an option.
