He's a virtual run of the table in almost any statistic.

All those stats (outside of goal scoring) are based on him trying to shoot (mainly unsuccessfully) all the time.
4th in the league in expect +/-. ???? Are you making stuff up?
Why have a stat to measure expected +/- when there already is a Plus minus stat?
Just for fun what would have Joe Morrow's expected plus/minus have been while on the Habs .... His actual was -11 in 38 games. moving to the Jets he is +5 in 11 games. If expected +/- could predict that he would be a plus player on a different team it would be a great way to build a defense for 4th round picks.
What was Justin Schultz's expected +/- on the Oilers?
Right now it would appear that trading a 3rd or 4th round pick for a 25 year old d-man would be better than the prospects the Flames are developing.
hint trade 4th round picks for D-men not 1st and a pair of seconds.
