35 d-men last season got 70+ PIM including a lot of guys who play big minutes w/o fighting. I didnt bother pro-rating other guys. So the # is actually much larger.

If you play physical at all, you will get some PIM along the way. Of course, if they are bad penalties, than thats different.

Thanks for the insight, but any PREDICTIONS though?

Like I think I would take Subban at 40 points + 80 PIM over Pietrangelo at 50 points + 40 PIM. But is it safe to assume Subban can get a consistent 80 PIM guy??? Nobody ever mentions PIM in these D discussions, this is the 1st time it actually really came into the equation, so now I am REALLY interested to see if Subban can be that next D-guy who can get those high end PIM #s (like 1 PIM/game average).

No I hear you, I was just saying that given his predicament, in the short term he may be trying to avoid getting penalties. In the long run he probably will have more leeway. I was talking more in the short term.

In terms of long term predictions, I would think at least 50 but maybe people are right and it could be as high as 80+.

Pietrangelo in a second, scratch that, a millisecond!

AP looked great tonight - way more effective than EJ. He was STL's most dangerous offensive defenseman by far.

I agree, Angus.

And what to make of Subban being scratched, again!

Pietrangelo impresses me more and more each time I see him. He has great offensive instincts, skill and nice size.

Sucks for EJ owners (which I'm not, so no complaints. I am however a Subban owner).
