+/- requires added data eg cause & effect

Eg look at all time greats +/- vs team success. Orr Lidstrom who played top minutes against the best & go from there

It's fine when looking at a players career.

Look at the Canucks Corsi stats, they don’t add up to how I’d rank the players.

That’s the type of stuff Corsi is criticized for.

Eh, tools/toolbox.

Not that I'm in one camp or the other, and *shock* I think it's not black and white either. Heresy on HB. Both are useful when determining players' worth and impact... how through watching they can overtly influence (or not) a game, and through analytics how their impact on the game can be seen that otherwise may not.

And that (above) is what non-analytic people are criticized for, not understanding how the analytics people apply and evaluate said analytics

Andrew Cogliano to a three-year extension through the 2020-21 season at an annual average salary of $3.25MM. Cogliano has suited up for all 43 games for the Ducks this season, extending his incredible streak to 829 games (his entire career in fact) without missing a single contest. The deal includes no signing bonuses, and gives him both no-trade protection for the rest of this season and a partial no-trade clause for the next three years.

There goes one of my hopeful off season acquisitions.

Boeser has helped a lot of useless guys improve their plus/minus this season.

Take him off any offensive line and the stat goes south instantly.

Sorta 😂😂
More like overwhelmed by the other myriad of data. Still it could use a renaissance by being revamped.

Shows he plays a good 5v5 2-way game.
He has at least 15pp points.
Summary is +/- shows his intangibles

Canucks who r close to 0 +/- are good players on a lousy team who cannot avoid poor stats by any stat including analytics.
Eg BB & Bo r stars tbh

We simply add our prospects to the line-up when ready we will see jumps in stats.

True. 5 players on one team and 5 players on the other all contribute to every plus or negative in that stat.
