    You're looking at it wrong trying to draw hard conclusions. It's just a stat, which is one stat minus another stat. That's it. It's a real stat and it's part of the story. How much importance you attribute to the stat is up to you. I've seen way too many people point to +/- as a measure of defensive ability which is complete bullshit.

    FWIW I don't think it's an important stat in most cases. There are cases that grab my attention though, mostly when one player stands out (good or bad) relative to his own team.

    Is it weird that I value a high positive plus minus more than I do a very low plus minus?

    Appreciate your take on this. This is the only argument I can buy into is relative to your own team. It could still be bad luck (or staying out too long on shifts), but damn, getting into the minus-40's is not something we see that often.
