It's called maturity.
PK doesn't have the creativity of a Markov to QB a PP. Chara doesn't have it either. Actually, very, very few in the NHL do. In no way does this mean he lacks vision.
Seems like everybody has a different definition of hockey sense.
If at 27-28, PK is still making some silly mistakes, often, then sure, call it a lack of hockey sense. But he's a 23 yo kid with 2 years of NHL experience, not a veteran.
He is still developing and progressing. I see it a lot more as a lack of maturity in trying to do too much, not being a step behind because of not understanding the game.
