Your obssession with PIM's is confusing as it tells you very little about how physical a guy is or isn't.

Shea Weber??? Are you trying to help my statement or argue against it?? Hard to tell.
yep Shea Weber had 48 PIM in 48 games. 10 Minutes for 2 5-minute fighting majors and that leaves 19 minor penalties in 48 games. Basically a minor penalty every second game or so.... Stupid Penalties? or just things that happen when you play hard like Weber.
That is someone who is the head and shoulders MVP on his team and and has skills and shooting ability in the top 2% of the the players in the league.
I don't want somebody to be taking a bunch of penalties ..... but somebody that is taking 10 minor penalties is more likely avoiding breaking the eggs in in his pockets than playing hard hockey.
If Breen wants to have more than 10 career games in the NHL he will have to be far more involved physically then a minor penalty every 6 games. He won't make it to the NHL as a Lady Byng candidate.
Where I got my rep for PIM is wondering how someone playing hard against men take 1 minor penalty the whole season. When Lindholm comes over and plays in the NHL I won't be shocked that he is a fringe player.
Comparing him to minor penalty generator Forsberg is just so ridiculous. If you play as hard as Forsberg you are going take some penalties.
