If Markov misses significant time it hurts PK's offensive upside for this season. PK is getting top line minutes either way so downgrading Markov to someone like Spacek is pretty bad.

On the other hand, it would give Subban more time killing penalties so you might get more blocked shots and hits.

Let's hope it doesn't even get to that point though.

100% agree on this. Markov presence would help PK's numbers for sure. The analysis is spot on for the peripheral stats, but you also have to expect less PIM this year. He won't finish first for minor penalties two seasons in a row.
