It is not lacking. He ran the NA PP if I recall correctly. Babcock is just wanting him to rest when the teams on a PP cause he gets “so much” 5on5 TOI and PK TOI.
It’ll happen especially how badly Gardiners been running the PP1. At the home opener I noticed he got on mid powerplay for about 30seconds. Babcock will get frustrated and give Rielly 26-27minutes instead of this 23 minutes BS.
It could be just that he wants Zeitsev on the PP to get a good look at him and that he’s actually good. And he can’t have Gardiner stapled to the bench all the time. Without that PP time for Gardiner, his 20:25TOI turns to roughly 18/19 I bet.
