To illustrate how terrible PP2 has been this season, only one of the Flyers 42 PP goals was scored without any help from the five main PP guys.

Provorov from Patrick and Manning on 1/4/18

The rest of the PP goals not scored by Simmonds (10), Giroux (8), Couturier (6), Ghost (5) and Voracek (4) are:

Weal from Konecny and Ghost on 10/4/17

Filppula from Voracek and Ghost on 10/10/17
Filppula from Giroux and Voracek on 10/10/17

Filppula from Konecny and Ghost on 10/28/17

Weal from Couturier and Giroux on 12/6/17

Raffl from Giroux and Voracek on 12/22/17

Provorov from Giroux and Voracek on 1/4/18

Konecny from Voracek and Giroux on 1/25/18

your opinion but it is natural for people to follow the leader, attitude, confidence and approach can all be affected. Putting Manning out for the first time on the PP no doubt was noticed by the team. I forget the last time something similar happen but the results were the same, a team that sat back and tried to protect.

I also agree with the poster that Manning was not playing well enough to think he would prevent any short handed attempt.

How is it a follow the leader scenario? I think this is much about nothing.

I think it can be top. They have arguably 3 of the top 15-20 best power player players (Ghost, Giroux, and Jake). Not to mention one of the best, if not the best net front man in NHL. To me, if this power play had a legitimate interior shooter, they would be unstoppable.

The way I view it is this: Schenn scored 17 goals on the PP last year, admittedly more of a statistical anomaly than something you can count on. But, if you can get 12-14 goals out of that spot with a better shooter, I think you should do it.
For reference, Couts has 6 powerplay goals. He's on pace for something like 8.5-10 for the year.

Last season 10 PP goals would've put you in the top 20 in the league among forwards in PP goals.

I just want Neuvirth to run with this for a while. Can’t take the goalie uncertainty.

That is a matter of opinion. You're coming from the viewpoint that the players consciously or sub-consciously changed their level of effort once Manning was put out. That insinuates that they don't respect manning as a player or a teammate. I'm pretty confident that not's the case and that kind of thinking is not prevalent. Some of the BS posted on here never fails to amaze me.
