2013-2014 Leaders in Average Time on Ice?

[sueperfly7]

I've found the best way to navigate an ATOI league is to have a few big-minute defensemen anchors that allow you to be more flexible with your forwards. For the longest time, Bouwmeester (while still in Calgary) was that player for me.

Will there be any surprise ice time leaders among defensemen this year?

Last year the ranking was as follows: Suter, Karlsson, Campbell, Doughty, J.Johnson, Weber, Letang, Girardi.

Most of those guys will be gone early or kept (I play in a limited keeper league). Are there some late-round speculative huge ATOI players I should be looking out for? I noticed Ehrhoff was receiving big minutes down the stretch. Jack Johnson can probably be had in the middle rounds.

Torts loved playing Girardi upwards of 26 minutes a game, and I'm wondering if Garrison or Hamhuis might expect the same treatment in Vancouver?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
