Okay? He also had 18 assists since 2019 so what’s your point? You’re still using +/- to evaluate a players worth in 2023? Lmaoooo

The assists and goals are heavily weighted by the line he is on is my point. +/- is a great indicator of him as a player. It proves this because despite the goals and assists he earns the amount of opposing goals he is on the ice for almost completely undo all the goals he has a hand in. This is why +/- is still a valuable stat and proves that in the post season he is not the game changing player he is all season.

+/- does not and has not, ever been able to tell the full story of a player bc so many factors are out of their control. It is an antiquated way to evaluate a player. Look at his advanced stats and you’ll see he’s more than capable in playoffs
