He's not a right-handed shooter. One of the problems with the Canucks power play the last 2 seasons was they were using 4 or 5 left-handed shooters most of the time. It made it much easier to shut-down the shooting lanes. The Canucks power-play was most effective when they had 2 right-hander shooters - Kesler & Salo.
Ideally, the power-play units would look something like
1st: Sedin-Sedin-Kesler, Garrison + RH pointman with a cannon
2nd: Burrows-Schroeder-Higgins/Kassian, Edler + Bieksa
We don't need a cannon for the first unit... Garrison already provides that. What we really need is a PP QB... someone like Campbell (just an example, not suggesting more Florida players!). Prefer a RHD who happens to be a PP QB as well but of course there aren't many of those nor could we really afford one. Salo kinda fit this role when he was here as he was a very smart passer who also happens to have a cannon.
But given our cap situation, anyone we sign probably isn't any better than Bieksa for that role unless we want to try having Hank/Dan back there (think that was experimented a bit last season and Torts i believe often do run 4 forwards on the PP).
The other issue appears to be the big body in front of the net... Kesler does it well but he's also the best sniper we have for the slot and was hurt most of last season. If Kassian finally develops an offensive game, he might get 1st unit time.. again a lot of this depends on coaching and what the coach believes... tho i doubt our PP can be any worst than last year and changes need to be made rather its personal (as in switching up since we don't really have the cap to make any changes and most of our core have NTC so its not like we could just trade everyone away and rebuild the team) or system.
Basically a possible first unit would be:
Sedins (one of them @ the point), Kesler, Elder (since he's actually suppose to be our best offensive dman), Kassian
2nd unit (shouldn't get more than 30s)
KB3 + Garrison, Burrows, Higgins, Schroeder
