PK Subban does this. He just sucks now so it’s not as obvious.

I also felt like Emerson Etem played this way. God that guy was terrible.
Etem killed it for me in NHL 16, I think it was. He'd fly past the defenders on PK and get 2 or 3 SHGs.
But jokes aside, it's an unorthodox (poor) economy of movement. If you could track it, I'd wonder how much extra gas they're burning with the extra movements. Example here--Etem takes his left hand off the stick 3 times, and he moves his feet in these short scrambling strides to get going like he's Scooby Doo.
