Plus/Minus is not something a player does.
Correct. So is Dylan Larkin.
And Ryan O'Rielly was -53 when the Blues acquired him.
Elias Lindholm was -70 when the Flames acquired him.
Plus minus is worthless.

Agree, this isn't complicated. It's simple. Sam is not a good player.
But I bet he attempts to be great. He attempts to score goals, make plays etc. That's my take on this, your attempt stats are pointless. No one cares what players attempt. It's what they accomplish that matters.
Bennett does not accomplish much.
