Replacement*

Nope.
Over the last two seasons our power play always performed better when Horcoff was in the lineup and the lack of a solid net presence has really hurt it this year.
This is textbook false attribution. Horcoff in recent incarnations had next to nothing to do with a successful PP. Even the term "net presence" is misleading here.
In fact the only year I can think of where Horcoff was doing this much was last year where Krueger apparently disliked Smyth enough to give Horc the assignment. Horc wasn't too good at it either.
