What's Up With Verhaeghe?

[Goptor]

That would affect more than just him though right?

I mean the +/- is the worst on the team by a longshot.

Because it has some relevance taken with context, some people just want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

The other guys are out there racking up +s on the PK while Verhaeghe isn't. Do we really need a stat that gives a really poor view of player usage when we already have the exact TOI numbers doing the same thing?

He's -6 5v5, or 42% goals for with 55% xGF% ... PDO is .939 (absurdly low)

I haven't really seen him play this year but just nerding on the most basic advanced stats I'd say he'll be fine.

He has been on the ice for 26 ESGA which is tied for 10th overall in the league and tops on the Panthers.

Some bad luck sure maybe but it's relevant.

So you needed to use another stat to explain +/-

I despise the plus/minus stat. It often means you are playing against the other teams top line more than others
