Subban has entered this season with plenty of hype but unlike certain prospects in other sports, he has the stats and track record to back up the considerable hype that is being placed on him. Subban posted a +46 plus-minus rating last year in the AHL, proving that he can create scoring opportunities for his forwards. Subban also had eight points in fourteen playoff games with the Canadiens last season. P.K. Subban will be a serious threat for the Calder Trophy this season and without a doubt has the talent to win the trophy.
