Well I've never liked Andersson or Weegar as PP QB - so that's part of it.
Still think they've also leveraged Kadri as the half board guy and Huberdeau as the net front which never made sense to me - Huberdeau should have always been the half wall guy on the LH side.
With Huberdeau, Kadri, Coronato, Frost, and Parekh I do personally think you could build a pretty good PP.
Kadri (Netfront)
Huberdeau (Left Half wall) - Coronato (Trigger Man)
Parekh (QB) - Frost (Zone Entry / Rover)
Huberdeau had a 3 year stretch in Florida where he was one of the top 3 PP producers in the league, he came to Calgary and it dissappeared. To me that's more than just talent available - our systems generally feel very passive and static all over the ice.
I always thought it was Huberdeau's skating that had dropped off - but NHL edge stats actually disprove that - it's how this team plays.
I watch this and wonder why we've never seemed to set up our PP around Huberdeau like Florida did. We always seem to set it up around Kadri and Weegar/Andersson on the right half wall.
