Chances are better than good that former Belleville Bulls all-star D-man P.K. Subban will start the 2010-11 season in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens.
Subban was recently named to the AHL's All-Rookie Team with the beefy stats to back it up.
Subban is third among all AHL defencemen in scoring (52 points at the time of this writing, including 18 goals) while his 11 PPG were tied for first among all rookies. As well, Subban was at the top of the league for overall plus-minus.
Not bad for a kid from Toronto who learned to skate at midnights on the frozen outdoor rink at Nathan Phillips Square and a sixth-round pick of the Bulls at the 2005 OHL draft.
Subban was up for two games with the Habs this season, back in February, picking up an assist both times.
Subban never lacks for confidence, is physically mature and has unreal skill and speed and the courage and daring to try just about anything on the ice. He'll eventually become Montreal's No. 1 puckcarrying D-man and blueline QB. Plus, the Montreal media will love him. He's usually a terrific interview.
