Hits and Block stats in general are skewed because you can only register one when you don't have the puck, so guys without the puck rack up hits and blocks. What about if you look at hits/blocks per min without the puck?
I used Corsi% as a proxy for possession time ( (1-CF%) * TOI = TWP) and figured out how many hits/blocks a player register per min without the puck. I only used away data as some arenas pad the stats of the home team.
Here are the top 30 for each.

Not sure if this is interesting/useful, or if I just re-invented the square wheel. Some players that jumped out to me on the blocked shots list are Andre Benoit, not exactly a know shot blocker and Kaberle/Vatanen(though probably just a sample size issue).
