The one part of the story being ignored is goals scored when these guys (Engelland/Smid) are on the ice. Smid for instance has only been on the ice for 8 goals for all year, Engelland has only been on the ice for 12 all year. Each of the top 4 defensemen have been on the ice for a minimum of 50 goals for.
When this team's offensive game is driven from the backend it shouldn't take much more than a passing thought to realize the 3rd pairing which contains 2 guys that are lacking on offensive ability are going to struggle in +/-.

It isn't a thinly veiled anything - Smid and Engelland aren't good enough. I don't need +/- to tell me that, and Neither do you.
+/- confirms the four weakest links on the team. They're exactly who we thought they were.
