Maybe its cause its 2:30 am and I'm about to go to bed here... What is the complaint, that DD got more PP time than Ghetto, McCarron, Carr? That DD was top 6 in PP minutes? Yeah thats grasping at straws. Get me LEGIT NHL TOP 6 FORWARDS, and we don't have the issue. I'm not gonna complain about a guy who once got 60 points in a season, and has another season over 50 points getting the 5th most PP time on the team amongst forwards... not when the team only has 4 good forwards. Being 5th on a team with 4 good forwards tells me DD is getting PP time by default; not because he's some golden boy of the coach. But i forgot every thread here has to be about the horrible coaching of MT. Sorry if I'm not seeing the distribution of PP ice time as an issue when he's the 5th most used guy in minutes per game.

Alex Galchenyuk 209 minutes of PP time this year.... 3rd on the time.... 59 minutes more than DD.... on a per game basis (DD was injured and missed some time) Galchenyuk was still used 30 seconds more per game on PP. DD was 5th on the team in PP time per game. All four of Gallagher, Plek, GAlchenyuk, Pacioretty go more PP Time. So yes... on a team with 4 legit top 6 forwards.... DD was the 5th most used forward on the PP. Again, i blame MB for DD's PP time.

Now imagine you are a GM trying to improve your team on free agency and the only way you get a need filled is to give a guy a no trade clause. You're going to do it.
