I like the Borowiecki and Gudas mentions... Big mean defence...

Colten Teubert also fits the bill and is very close... With a good point outlook too...

Kyle Beach has a piss-poor attitude, bad for his chances, but good cause he pisses opponents off to the point they challenge him to fights, roughings or other crap....

Andrew Shaw, again hawks likely use him on a lower 2 line, he can produce, and like to get 'involved'

Max Goncharov, Nasty russian to play against and he'll put up good PIM counts at times...

Alex Petrovic surprises me that he is getting so many PIMS and he has PPQB writen all over him, Ceiling of 40-50 points from a D man with PIMS

Sena Acolatse anouther nasty D man coming....

Joakim Andersson, seen him play latley for Grand Rapids... detroit likes him and all game he was getting into something with someone...

Rich Panik, gritty winger that is likely gonna make it as a top 2 line forward....

Kevin Connauton, mainly a powerplay D man, who is getting very close to the NHL... He has defencive and skating issues that make him take hooking, tripping and holding penalties quite often...

Brendan Gallagher, scorer that will likely jaw his way into over 100 PIMs/year

Nick Petrecki anouther big mean customer coming in San Jose to be a minute munching D and stand up for teammates

Keith Aulie, Nasty Attitude on the ice...

Daniel Catenacci, likes to get yappy and involved in extra cirriculars... likely a reason he isnt on team canada

Duncan Siemens, love the D in this catigory lol

Kale Kessy, Travis Ewanyuk...

I've always found it difficult to draft this type of player as prospects as quite often they take slightly longer to become an NHL regular. I prefer the strategy of drafting talent and trade for needs as much as possible. PIM has become a more rare commodity.

Like you I draft for talent and depended on my PIMs mainly to come from my D mostly minute munchers that take several minor infractions...

My lg switched from PIMs to Blocked Shots... so I haven't looked at PIMs in a while.. But my drafting startegy remained unchanged, most BLK come form the D and I look for Minute munching D to provide them and then trade or pick up free agents to fill gaps as needed...

I did draft Perry who is talent with PIMs, and I drafted Carcillo expecting more upside, but the PIMs came in bunches... Chris Kunitz was one of my draft picks that plays a tough game while sitting on top lines, Justin Williams plays with an edge, Marty Erat as a result from playing large minutes and going in dirty areas took sevel minor penaltys, and Braydon Coburn were others I've drafted for their upsides and abilitys to play tough/active games...

Notice all of those I mentioned do chip in with points and are not one sided players... I'd look draft/aquire most of those without the PIM stat in my leauge and I already own Petrovic (but for his upside in points)

Draft the best players regardless of what they bring. I don't like to reach to find guys that will take forever to arrive. But if your prospects develop they can either produce for your roster or be good trade chips.

In the league in my sig I drafted JT Brown, Torey Krug and Marek Hrivik in the prospect draft. Not necessarily PIM guys but Brown/Krug should be well-rounded guys and Hrivik is a boom/bust type. Then I found Zach Budish, Michael Ferland, Mark Borowiecki and Frank Corrado on the wire as future PIM guys.
