This is the biggest pet peave of mine. Well this and the fact that when using 4 forwards on the PP the forward stationed in a defensive position only produces about 1/4 of the amount they normally would.
I've seen saves where Crosby is left off the both Penguins PP units while Ponomarev is on the first unit because the former is set to counterattacking forward while the latter is set to playmaker. Ottawa frequently leaves Stutzle and Tkachuk off their top PP unit because they are set to counterattacking forward and grinder. Same with Barkov, Kopitar etc - the list goes on with poor special team AI choices.
