I'm with you.
He had 16 penaltys taken, plus a fight with Vlasic (? i don't remember this, but that's actually a good tradeoff), and 30 penalties drawn that year for a +14 penalty differential.
Last year he had 27 minor penalties taken and 21 penalties drawn, plus a fight with Josh Manson for a -6 penalty diffential.
How does a more mature, bigger, stronger player take eleven more penalties in less ice time? It's not a positional thing either, as he played more center as a rookie than he played last year.
It Peters can do his thing, the five of Bennett, Neal, Tkachuk, Gaudreau, and Brodie could have us on a constant and successful power play.
