There’s no general “plus good, minus bad” kind of rule you can apply across the board. Needs to be taken in context with both the team and player. - mafic Jun 25, 19:07 7
- The Athletic lately has been pushing Alex DeBrincat to the Kraken, but he is -31 so I don't know what to think about him - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:10 6
  - never played on a good team, and 30 points on the PP in a -31 season. probably fine? -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:18 3
    - well I do want the Kraken to improve on the PP. I also want to trade Philip Grubauer straight up for Connor Hellebuyck but I don't think that will - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:22 2
      - I mean if you can convince Winnipeg that's a good deal, then sure. also you'd probs need to sign him to a $10 million/year extension. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:46 1
        
        Yeah, evidently he has made it clear that he will not re-sign with Winnipeg when his contract runs out, so he is available. - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:50
  - Talented, but tiny. Half his points were on the PP, which could explain some of the +/-. Also was playing top line for Ottawa, vs 2nd line for Chicago - Reagen Jun 25, 19:17 1
    - Gracias! -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:19
wildly flawed but situationally interesting. - Reagen Jun 25, 18:52 1
- Thanks. I can't tell if it is useful at all. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 19:07
a lot - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 25, 18:43
Its a fair indicator over time. Either youre productive or not. Better as a relative indicator vs others at the position -- nm* - budice Jun 25, 18:41 1
- Let me get specific: Alex DeBrincat 27G, 39A, 66Pts, +/- -31 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 25, 18:48
