Because current NHL coaches do not put 2D on their top PP unit. Most don't on their 2nd unless they are really top heavy (and or starved of talent).
I think Kubalik or Zadina should be where Raymond has been parked for the last few weeks on PP1 (lack of lefty over there is problematic) but that doesn't mean that's going to happen.
we all understand your infatuation with zadina from the other thread, but zadina shouldn't be on the powerplay if not the team in general. I 100% agree with kubalik and hate that he isn't used on it because his one-timer is great.
Regardless, having the pp1 with ed and mo makes a tremendous amounts of sense and just because they haven't done it recently, doesn't mean they won't do it again. We do not have the forwards capable to be doing 4F and 1D on both lines, we just don't. I refer you to my research paper i posted on the page before this where I explain why.
I don't understand how this could not be a feasible possibility:
PP1
Raymond - Larkin - Kubalik
Mo - Ed
PP2 - A
Rasmussen/Perron - Berg - Soderblom - Copp/Kasper
Walman
PP2 - B
Perron - Soderblom - Berg
Walman - Maata
Both have net front, production ability on back end, shooters and passers. I added Maata for the second PP because he can keep pucks in the zone and that would have tremendous value when people are trying to clear it out on the PK. I am not as insistent on that one, but thought to throw it out there.
