I thought this was an interesting list - players who were on the ice for the highest percentage of their teams' power-play goals. Clearly power-play usage has changed over the years - Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr went on the ice for every PP and didn't come off the ice until the Bruins scored or the penalty was over. Brian Leetch is probably the last player to have been used in this manner.

It was really only a small number of coaches during a short period of time who kept a small number of truly dominant players on the ice for the entirety of every PP. Indeed, eight of the 20-highest percentages of all time are from Harry Sinden (as coach and GM) keeping Esposito and Orr on the ice at all times.
