Two pretty important facets of being an effective PKer. No?

Yes he would, imo. But it depends on where you play as well.
FWIW he was 6th in shot blocks among fwds last year, and all the guys ahead of him were PKers, so more opportunity. Even at that he had only 4 less than Backlund and Kadri, and 6 less than Lewis. More blocks than Toffoli, Mangiapane and Dube, all of who saw PK time IIRC. 12 less than Coleman and a whopping 23 less than the blocking machine that was Lindholm.
