text: penalty minutes in fantasy hockey? i'm in a rotisserie league and wondering if i would be better off with a d man that has more pim's?  like an idiot i took joni pitaken (he was so good last year) and this year he is joni pitiful.  i could get someone like witt who has lots more pims, less assists (3 vs 8) still no goals, but is a plus 3 vs pitiful's -10.  i'm never sure how to evaluate in fantasy.  any suggestions?  i would hang in with joni, but let's face it the flyers are in big trouble--if precedent follows the second i dump joni he'll score goals and jump up high in the rankings.  not a huge islander fan but nolan will have these guys scrapping and playing better than philly, don't cha think?  thanks for any help you can offer! just make sure his pim's do not off-set his other statistics (goals, assists, +/-).  those are all important as well in a rotisserie league.  if you can get a defenseman that is balance in all these categories then you are set.  if a defenseman spends too much time getting pim and not helping you in other categories, then he's not that valuable.
