You nailed it, it's a team stat UNLESS one player is way out of whack with the rest of the team. The rest of the team, as you can see in the photo, is hovering between 0 (austin czarnik) and -18 (Brouwer). The fact that Benny is such a massive outlier should be setting off all the alarm bells for you. You're so close to the actual realization you're just refusing to see it. Dissonance.
Bennett is Further beyond the lower boundary of the team's +/- than the disparity that exists between all other players on the roster. The guy bleeds goals against, its actually what he is statistically best at.

Unless ? according to you! show me an executive using plus minus in such a fashion? until then your point doesn't hold water.
The flames have not been conducive to his maturation into an above average offensive player.

so few dzone starts for a reason. but still -12 cumulatively. The whole line has been defensive disaster.

benny has recieved tougher minutes from his 3 year in while monohan gets a pass.
their shot creation per 60 is similar too. But one gets way more ice and pp time.
how's that for being emotional and irrational?
well lets just agree he's a polarizing player: Bennett.
He's a below average offensive player right now. But i'd argue usage as his biggest detriment.
