P.K. Subban has seen both the highs and lows of NHL life since becoming a member of the Montreal Canadiens late in the 2009-10 season.
Subban made an immediate impression with his skating, booming shot and look-at-me type of personality. Subban was at his peak during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season when he won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman after scoring 11 goals and 27 assists.
Subban seems to be more interested in getting off his shot and setting up his teammates for good scoring opportunities than he is in playing defensive hockey, but that's not entirely accurate. Subban does like playing offense, but he does not ignore defense and his ability to possess the puck indicates how valuable he can be when he is at his best.
Subban was not at his best in the 2015-16 season and neither was his team. After starting the season with nine straight victories, the Canadiens began a long and deep tailspin that resulted in the team missing the playoffs.
