when Backlund went -21 and Frolik went -19 in 2017 I was told repeatedly that +/- was a totally meaningless stat.
Are +/- significant this season for Monahan (-13) and Hanifin (-19) and Gaudreau (-10)?
Monahan and Gaudreau have stabilized with the new coach and new lines but Lindholm (-5) and Tkachuk (-4) for December miss their old lines/ matchups.
If +/- is actually a meaningful stat it does not look good for Hanifin being the Gio or Brodie replacement in the top-2 as his only plus year was last season. Career -54 (-14, -19, -20,+18 and this years -19)
