The answers were right there in the OP.
Last year, the PK was 21st, as you say. THis year, with Ramo and Ortio, the PK is tied for 20th.
That isn't great, but it isn't terrible. As long as you're in the middle 3rd, PK isn't hurting you.
The difference from last year to this year, the drop from 21st to 30th, can be entirely explained by the difference in Hiller's SP vs the other two goalies.
Pretty straight-forward.
So the next issue then becomes: how do we get from 20th up into the top 10?
Suggestions: get bigger, especially defensively, and don't be so passive - I would rather see a more aggressive PK than what we have.
