You give up the puck to the opponent in hopes that they will make a mistake and you will be in position to capitalize. You aren't really creating chances yourself, you're hoping the other team gives them to you.
I can't believe how many Gulutzan coached games I watched where CGY took so many low quality outside shots and just generated nothing. It looks good in CF% but CGY would lose so many games because they just got nothing going.
The strategy is really check to a standstill 5v5 on maybe you win on the PP.

Carry the puck in, hold on to it and make some plays. That's how you win. Sure you can use dump and chase occasionally but not as the way you play not as your identity, not as a strategy or concept.
